Type 2 diabetes

I don't have it, but predisposed I guess as it runs very commonly in my close family.. what diet are you going to choose to help it, or are you just concentrating on weight loss?

i used to have type 2 and reversed it, so it can be done, you just have to stick to it, change it hard but change is worth it.

Just had to say well done btw! That's a lot of weight!! I tried to get my tracker thingy to show up on my posts but although I set it to - it still doesn't?! Odd - mind you...my weight loss is very modest compared to yours! Fantastic

I think you have to copy and paste your ticker into every post.

Lol I know. I couldn't be bothered If people are interested in seeing my ticker they can go to my profile

That would have been so much funnier if a man has just posted that! (lol, sorry for sense of humour!)

I am also a type 2...I'm trying to reverse the situation with a low carb/keto diet....Still trying to figure it all out but I'm getting better at it every day!

Mirabelle1983: I'm meeting with a diabetic educator now. She would like me to do more of a low carb diet. I never realized how much I ate until I started logging it. Wow! No wonder I'm overweight!

Well we've all been there! Although they say with low carb or keto you don't really need to count calories, it's so eye opening when you do! It's all too easy to overindulge even on low carb, so I think it's a good idea to maybe not count - but at least track everything so you know how much you're taking in.
It would be good to hear your experience on it if you decide to try it kim

I was insulin resistant for almost a decade, and T2 diabetic for a decade after that. My diabetes is in remission after bariatric surgery and significant weight loss.

Diabetes is a manageable disease, and with vigilance, you can have a much brighter outcome including more energy every day. In essence you are taking over what for regular people the pancreas does for them. You will have to pay attention to how many carbs you are taking in a meal, and balance it out with the other macros (protein and fat), and lots of veggies help a lot to fill in the corners.

This diagram was most helpful when I was learning to plate my food.

I was diagnosed with type 2 4 weeks. Very overwhelming to overhaul and change lifestyle. So far have cut out soft drinks and sweets - BLG are still too high and same to average around 10.

What symptoms did you all have my weights always yoyoing & my Nan and aunt maternal had type 2 so I am concerned
