Obese Since Diabetes. What Work Outs And Diet Control Can Help Win Situation?
I am 67 years and have always been slim. Now after 6 years with Diabetes 2, I am obese ( 81 Kilogram to 162 cm) I carefully follow the diabetec diet , eat very little fat, no white bread, no white rice/pasta etc. and I keep putting on more and more weight. I walk for 2 hours every day, I do not drive at all, walk to shop, to visit and am really careful with what I consume. No alcohol issues, but now diagnosed with a fatty liver . This really really bothers me as I am also a Mother of an only 15 year old son. How can I change this situation, including reducing the weight and the fatty liver issue.

Hello,
You are a Diabetic for the past 6 years.
now you are gaining weight.
If you are on insulin therapy that may lead to weight gain sometimes especially in the abdomen region.
Hypothyroidism may be one other reason for your weight gain taking into consideration your Diabetic status and your history.
Do a thyroid function test.
Consult an endocrinologist.
