Sorry to hear about your health issues. You're best following a SMART doctors diet and excersize program. Definitely don't mess with gear in your state.

I have diabetes as well....I have been lifting for years and was big and strong but had a pot belly as well...got up to 270 lbs and realized I was having trouble walking and running even though I was really strong and guys on the street would complement me on how big I was....I was constantly out of breath...I got diabetes and went on Metformin and Glipizide.....got to the point where it wasn't working and realized I had to lose weight so my body would process the insulin it produces properly......

Stopped doing weights every day and began hitting the bike like you.....I do it everyday without fail for at least 40 minutes and I work out with weights every two days along with the bike.....the bike is awesome..I am burning so many calories.....my stomach is going down steadily....I hated the tread mill but I now work it in three times a week for 20 minutes.....up your minutes to 40 on the bike..it takes 20 minutes just to get your body to start burning fat....run on the treadmill 20 minutes three times a week to switch things up, but after the 20 minute treadmill run, go and start your bike work so that it adds up to one hour of cardio.....do all of this on an empty stomach first thing in the morning without eating......I can still eat whatever I want as long as I don't overdo it and I am still losing weight

The weight will pour off you in no time..but you are big guy so it will take a few months..but you have to be dedicated and do it every day..take one day off a week if you are tired

Iam like you guys usually 250lb, now on 500mg of test e a week iam at 279 and I can deffinantly feel it even walking has gotten harder. I love all the upper body muscle but I hate my pot belly to the point where I avoid looking at myself sideways in the mirror lol. All that cardio andriesdaman is talking about is litterly making me sick as I  read but iam afraid its the only way,ill be trying this routine when i start cutting.

Believe me I know how you feel...I hate cardio and avoided it for years...but I realized that cardio was the ONLY way I would be able to drop the weight and I forced myself to do it....once you get started its actually not that bad...doing the bike is much better than constantly running....running burns you out quickly....its boring and you eventually find reasons not to do it

Eat less and work out more. Or, put another way, burn more calories than you take in. It's simple really. You will lose weight. Along with the weight loss, you might regain your health if you are lucky. Nothing worth having is going to be easy and generally everything takes time. So, be patient.
