Guys how are we doing? For the longest I have had this mentality of fight, fight, fight off diabetes. I was diagnosed with it when I was 18 and I'm now 24 (Type 2). I have always been active working out, diet pretty decent, but always overweight. As of late I have been doing what you call "two a days". I workout twice a day. I run in the morning on an empty stomach(water only), then I work out in the evening weights. But, I notice I'm still gaining weight..:(:(:(...5'9 now 270. So discouraging! My sugar is usually ok but I don't check it often. I know its under control because if it wasn't, I would be constantly urinating all the time and hungry because of the urination(i.e clearing out all the vitamins and nutrients because of the frequent trips to the restroom).

My question is, how does one truly lose weight while having diabetes? Could it be the meds I'm on that's causing me to gain weight(amaryl,benicar,crestor, avandamet - yep on all 4)? What are some of the extreme majors I can take because eating right, cutting back on junk foods, isn't working for me. Have any of you guys honestly and truly tried the low carb diet? All I hear is negative things about it but I'm desperate at this point and will try it now..
