Hi, I’m diabetic, and had this problem especially with loosing weight. Changing the way I eat helped me loose weight more then going to the gym. There was a point I stopped going tot he gym all together because of outside circumstances and I was still loosing weight.

I did a version of keto where you add a lot of fiber via veggies, berries, etc in with everything else. I’m not doing keto anymore but it really helped me avoid carbs like bread, pasta, rice, etc. never had a sweet tooth, so cake, cookies, candy were never a problem with me. At this point I’m still diabetic but I have it under control where my A1C is completely normal, and has been for a long time now.

Of course this isn’t for everyone and you have to do right by you, no matter what.

Wishing you the best!
