If your parents care about you they will buy you healthy food. You could propose that they give you money for what you need to eat. Try to encourage a gym membership. It is cheap at the YMCA. Use your allowance for the youth rate...$13 a month depending upon area. Otherwise hang on until you turn 18 or get a job to suport your needs. You can use calorie-count.com to journal your caloric intake.

unfortunately cardio never does it all.. and neither does working out in general. the diet is the main part of losing weight. usually its not about how much you eat, but you really do have to focus on eating right even if you say your family doesnt. if youre really interested, make yourself meals seperate from everyone; buy your groceries or have whoever does the shopping get a few extra things for you/alternative foods. go for the low in sugar, whole wheat things. try to eat less carbs, cutting some dairy from your diet like cheeses does a lot. its probably best to eat none/little icecream, chocolate, candy, fatty cookies etc. to lose weight, the hardest part if unfortunately the diet. cardio does a lot, but if you eat wrongly then it will just continue in a vicious circle. it is very hard to start, but once you start seeing results the healthy eating will be worth it. not only for weight, but for general well being.
exercise-wise... even if its cold, try running and jogging. the best exercise is cardio for weight loss, and alternating the pace of your hearbeat. like sprint, walk, run, sprint, walk, run etc. and as youre a guy... weights do good for abs and arms, as well as crunches, sit ups, .. the usual.
good luck :-)

You must change your diet if your want to lose weight and improve your health. A good diet is especially important to people with diabetes.

If your young and diabetic your family should eat better around you for your sake. Just keep exercising and try and eat three hearlthier meals a day, don't snack and don't eat junk food, oh and don't drink cokes at all, they are horrible for you, drink cold water all the time.

give your protein extra low calorie flavor by adding a salsa or chutney instead of a gooey cream sauce
