You can take the help of a dietician who can also help with a variety of diet chart (while taking care of calorie count also ). Please go for regular health check up and repeat the tests as advised. Focus on improving your health rather than worry about the problem. Include exercise and yoga which help in your diabetes management. Discuss about your exercise plan with the doctor so that sufficient precautions can be taken.

This happens due to destruction of beta cells present in pancreas, due to an autoimmune process. Type 2, which more common variery is due either to lack of insulin or increased resistance to its action, mainly due to increased fat and inactivity.

To avoid weight gain you have to control your diet which should be low in calory, high in fibres and sugar free.

It is not necessary to continue with insulin lifelong. It can be stopped also if your doctor thinks so.

Weight reduction, controlled diet, regular exercise, avoiding high fatty foods, junk foods, pastries and other bakery items. Sweetened aerated drinks, fructose corn syrup containing products, highly processed products, alcohol and smoking, are few of the things which reduce insulin resistance.

Mr. Lybrate-user, when on insulin some times hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) develops. That may cause some of the symptoms mentioned. If you are doing self monitoring of blood glucose (smbg), at home then you should check the glucose level when you feel such symptoms and see if there really a low level (<70 mg or lower). If it is so, then dosage of insulin may have to be adjusted. To give exact suggestions I need to now your fasting, pp sugar levels, insulin dosage and hba1c%. Then only I will be...more
