As part of health improvement since having diagnosed with diabetes, I'm trying to do walks with the treadmill as a stepping stone for exercising. But when I do so I heat up pretty quickly and sweat a lot so I try to use a fan to cool myself off while doing the exercise. I notice I definitely last a bit longer on the treadmill with the fan but I'm wondering whether that would affect the exercise in any way.

So after 30 years of indulgent lifestyle I finally got convinced to get my health checked and found out I have diabetes. Honestly not sure how long I've had it since I never really noticed signs of it even now. I'm currently 120kg and the doctor recommended me to try and lose a third of it, and googling up weight loss techniques I've read that intermittent fasting is one of the effective ways of doing it. I'm currently a week in though I can't really say that cause I more or less keep on breaking it more or less every other day. I was wondering if people can provide a bit more insight on what to do.

I'm currently trying a 16:8 fast attempting to skip dinner but there are times where the hunger keeps me awake when I try to sleep so I tend to try and sate it instead or I won't have energy for the morning, even if I have breakfast.

My breakfast is usually toast with eggs and sausage or bacon or overnight oats with bananas or blueberries. Lunch is kinda whatever's available.
