Obese patients should take a low-calorie diet (1000-1400 kcal/day), and the total calories should be gradually restricted, and it is not advisable to lose weight too quickly. On the premise of determining the total calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates should be properly matched, and a high-fiber diet (such as beans, grains, and green vegetables, etc.) should be advocated to delay and reduce the absorption of glucose in the intestine, and relieve and alleviate insulin resistance.

Obese diabetic patients can jog, climb stairs, climb mountains, etc., which are moderate-intensity aerobic exercises.

The guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes in the United States recommend that diabetic patients should do moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 150 minutes a week, and patients without contraindications are encouraged to perform endurance exercise 3 times a week.
