My Dad was diagnosed as being border line diabetic. He is stubborn about changing his ways. He love cupcakes. He enjoys junk foods. He doesn't lestin to the warnings Mom and I have been giving him for years. Please pray he will change his ways and his health.

how does one lose weight when they are diabetic?


i know someone who is and they must eat several times, or...they'll pass out or something?


and it's caused them to be real weighty.

Praying for your dad, FS... Instead of cutting out those foods all at once maybe your mom can come up with alternative healthy ways to cook cupcakes and things...I know it's not the same, but I've heard the chefs have come a long way finding yummy ingredients. Try a google on it.

good suggestion Roxygirl...although the cupcakes I was referring to are not the kind you make at home, they are the store bought Hostess cupcakes...sorry should've been clearer. Now I think I remember seeing a low fat version or a fat free version...I don't remember...I will have to look up to see what sweetners would be safe too

Sand, There are both skinny diabetics and heavy diabetics. It is possible to loose weight. It requires a balanced diet that levels out blood sugar. Eating several small meals 6 times a days increases metabolic rate, which is a key component of weight loss along with regular excercise.The Glycemic Impact Diet is one example of a diet that both helps the border line diabetic loose weight while eating 6 times a day.

I believe in prayer first, but then the person must also be in faith together with you. More so, if it is some sickness.
If not, then Google this: cinnamon. I think some cinnamon on his toast every morning might help.But it is one of those things that I remember, but you can Google it , to make sure.

Also, buy "The Makers Diet" by Jordan S. Rubin.

Its a diet that works and will not leave him feeling deprived.
good luck

I got Dad to go out for a long walk last night and he is eating the same food I'm eating to loose weight. He said eating 6 small meals throughout the day gives him energy. He used to literally fall asleep at noon!
