need to lose weight and exercise but have diabetes 2

[metrowoman]

No matter what I try I can't seem to lose weight and my blood glucose levels are becoming out of control (I'm trying diet and exercise control at the moment because metformin makes me feel terrible). Can anyone who is in a similar position give me some good advice on how to lower glucose levels naturally plus lose weight through diet and exercise.

Presumably you have tried eating a low GI/GL diet? I followed strictly a few years ago as I had PCOS and wanted to avoid metformin. I lost some weight and also got PCOS symptoms under control. Now I am doing low carb so limiting/avoiding some of things I might have had on low GI diet like brown pasta / fruit. I find that to loose weight on low GI do need to limit calories as well.

So what have you tried?
