Diabetics who lost weight?

I'm wanting to lose some weight, but have heard 3 different ways I should do it from 3 different physicians.

A good place for solid information re: your condition and how to live effectively with it, is the American Diabetes Association: http://www.diabetes.org/nutrition-an...-meal-plan.jsp

Physicians receive SOME training in medical school re: diet, exercise and nutrition, but it is very basic information, and most of them (surprisingly, or not surprisingly as the case may be) make the same lifestyle mistakes that the rest of us so commonly do.

Start with your local health department and look for a Registered Dietician.

I'm in pretty good shape, I teach martial arts, work out regularly, eat well and all that, but I'm an insulin dependant diabetic and was wondering if anyone else out there has the same condition. I'm wanting to lose some weight, but have heard 3 different ways I should do it from 3 different physicians. Any one had any luck. I'm 5'9, 190
