Tips for Living with Type 2 Diabetes
Your doctor may recommend that you lose some weight. That’s because losing weight can help improve your glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It can also reduce your risk for health problems overall. Losing weight can also give you extra energy and help you feel good. Make sure that you lose weight in a healthy way. Talk to your doctor or dietitian about which weight loss strategy will be best for you.
