I'm 23 years old. Recently I gained weight and I weigh 90 kg with a height of 176 cm. I have been suffering from type I diabetes for 4 years and I take insulin. I would like to lose about 10 kg. What would be the best, and therefore optimal, diet?

The optimal diet for you is a diabetic diet with a reduced amount of kcal to 1200 or even 1000 kcal / day. At the same time, you should adapt the insulin dose to such a diet plus use aerobic physical exercises (swimming pool, bike, brisk walk).
