Are you able to exercise gently in water? Following the American Diabetic Assn diet is a good one to lose weight. Can you eat more fruits and veggies? Perhaps considering juicing to lose weight and get more vitamins and minerals that are needed. Is there a nutritionist in your community you could talk with?
