Are you seeing an endocrinologist? If not you need to in order to get your blood sugar numbers and meds in order, the treatment of diabetes is there medical specialty. I had been seeing an internist when I was diagnosed with diabetes, early on they were able to manage my diabetes but as time went by not so much. The endocrinologist changed my meds and significantly cut back on Metformin and eliminated some others. My endocrinologist appt. was yesterday and my a1c was 6.6 and my weight was stable, having lost 60# since being diagnosed with diabetes. You should also see a diabetic dietician to help you make the food choices that make your diabetes easier to manage and lose weight that will also help.

Everyone is different and the TX for diabetes has come a long way. Less use of insulin which also helps with weight loss. Some meds are also more helpful than others in the weight loss area. Diet is the key cut the carbs especially simple sugars and alcohol (it's like eating spoon fulls of sugar). Complex carbs are the way to go.
