Hi Everyone - This post is to seek help of those who have "been there done it" or know it from their experiences with others.
My mom is 57 and is diabetic for the past 25 years. She has gained a lot of weight in the last 7 years after her menopause. Knowing her diet - am sure it has nothing to do with over eating coz she eats very less given her diabetes condition. She is very thin at her arms and legs and all her weight is on her torso (huge tummy and back tyres)

I need advice on what exercise can she probably do at home (no gym time and she works 9am to 6pm) and some good diet tips.

Am sure people her age would be able to give a very great advice so i welcome all suggestions.

    What recommendations did her doctor give her?
  • My boyfriend's dad was told he was pre-diabetic and needed to lose weight, so he tried the "paleo" diet. He has lost so much weight and his blood work is really good and consistent now.
