I am 34 years old and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes around 4 months ago during normal preventive health checkup. My father is also suffering with type 2 diabetes. I am non smoker and non alcoholic. My initial HBA1C was 9.4 and after medication it is 6.7 after 4 months. I am taking Glycomet SR 500 once in night right now. My problem is that I have lost around 7 kg weight in last 4 months and now my weight is 67 and my height is 5? 11?. Can I stop medication if I am doing brisk walking for 1 hr daily or I need to keep talking medication? Any suggestions to gain weight back?

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Diabetes is a hormone deficiency disease, where there may be either lack of insulin or there is resistance to its action mainly due to excess fat and high blood glucose. When disease is undetected, there is excess glucose loss through urine, leading to unexplained tiredness, fatigue and weight loss. Once blood glucose is maintained within limits, one can regain the lost weight through proper nutrition and regular exercise. Stopping medication will again lead to increased glucose levels. Diet control and regular exercise has to be part of your lifestyle now. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
