I have the same problems , Diabetes 2, just been diagnosed and I also have a chronic Disability and associated Reactive Depression.

All I can say is medications make me put on weight, and Diabetes can be very problematic.

They mention things to eat although they do not worry regards how to keep the weight down especially in my case Pain Medications and NSIDs make things worse. They put us on Statins etc if in our sixties and it all comes back to low mood. Gail all I can suggest is try and follow the recommendations given, they will give you sticks to check our Waterworks etc and every now and then take your bloods.

The main thing you can do is follow a regular regime of exersise and look for diversions to help you move on and keep yourself busy by following their suggestions
