Walk 4 or 5 kilometers every morning and evening. Your weight will be reduced and diabetes controlled.

Get this book and don't be in a hurry to lose weight... let it come off naturally.
For type I and type II diabetics (and those who could potentially become diabetic)...
I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured.
The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA:

For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. Read more about it here:

I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here:

Here's another great health site with all kinds of general health information:

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

It depends how much weight you need to lose. Your doctor should hook you up with a nutritionist to put you on a proper diet. But if you are morbidly obese, surgical intervention as various types of gastric bypass surgery can help. I was a diabetic on insulin, lost the weight I needed to and now I'm no longer a diabetic for a few years now. Weight loss is a great cure for diabetics.

I have been a diabetic for 42 years.
I never had a weight problem until the last 2 years.
Some things like low blood sugar will get you.
Also if you become less active.
I put together my own site on diabetes that answers most questions.
See it below.

The suggestions above are good but a warning along with them should be TEST often TEST before and after excerise and eating until you know how your diet affects your medication.
Drastic changes in excerise or diet can throw your blood glucose plummeting and your body into hypoglycemic shock and this is NOT good. If you test before and after and keep at it you and your doctor can adjust your medication accordingly and you can lose weight.
