Hello sir, for people with diabetes, weight loss success is not only measured by the scale but also by blood sugar control. You should focus on eating lean proteins, high fiber, less carbs, fruits and vegetables. Stay hydrated is also important for you. Some foods you have to reduce in your diet such as white rice, pasta, fruits with added sweeteners, full fat dairy products, any food with high glycemic index. In addition to choosing the right diet regular exercise is always important.
