How can I control my weight if exercise doesn’t do it and I can’t stay any diet program for too long?

G O asked:

My height is 1.92m and I weigh in 124kg. Because I’m a diabetic I can’t follow any diet which highly restricts carbohydrate diet. Instead, I have attempted to follow several low-fat and low-sugar diets, but without success. I do a weights program three times most weeks and cycle intensely for two hour bursts.  I’d appreciate any advice.

What are the chances of me getting diabetes?

Chris asked:

I was wondering what the chances of me are of getting diabetes. My grand mom has diabetes(well I think she does she has a machine to check her blood sugar but i never saw her inject herself with insolen) and both of her sisters sons also have diabetes. I think there are about 1 or 2 more people who have it but I cant think of them.

Also does your diet have any effect on wether you can get diabetes or not and how often should I get checked for it?
