It requires a detailed evaluation as what might be the reason for the weight loss. A good nutritionist and your doctor (who is treating you) can coordinate and help you to take necessary steps. You need to go slow and don't push the limits of your endurance. Let the exercise be of mild to moderate level. You need not be strict with your diet but ensure that food is always healthy and nutritious and a balanced diet. Yoga (including pranayam and meditation) can be a better tool to bring harmony in the natural rhythm (including your metabolism ). Kindly read more about Diabetes and it's management from the internet and adapt the healthy habits.
