How to control weight, when diabetes is involved too.
I dont know thats the trouble
I cannot answer your question but this is an answer from Dr Lowe re weight gain whilst on T4.
As far as I understand many are kept on a 'replacement' dose instead of a higher dose or better still the addition of T3.
Thank you Shaws, I will look into Dr.Lowe methods
Hi Unless on Metformin for the diabetes your weight will go up even with the right diet. As for the diet for diabetes, I did not find any info from UK or the States or various dieticians any help and all very conflicting. Then I found 2 books by A T W Thompson on Amazon., I bought them as second hand so very cheap. The forwards are good on both but the one is exceptional, Who ever wrote it must be brilliant. It is completely different and really helpful.The titles are " The Diabetes weight loss diet " ( I paid £ 8 .44 and " Healthy Eating for Diabetes "I paid £ 4. i hope this helps.Of course, exercise is vital with diabetes and would help the weight
