35years riding,4yrs type two diabetic. Glyberide put 25lbs on me the last two years, but recent switch to invokanna has reduced me 12lbs and really helped lower blood sugar level. Down to 205lbs shooting for 10 more. Exercise is a must and if it don't hurt it don't work. Just don't over extend so as to loose interest. Also most important, intaking less calories than expending equals lost weight. Minimize the carbs at night, try limiting carb count to 60grams per meal and 20gram snack.The real ***** of it all is the nueropothy in my feet. Fear the day I can't feel the ground when I put my feet down and can't feel the ground. Will occasionally mishift due to numbness in toes. May have to convert to trike in the forthcoming years.
Good luck
