[QUOTE="Defren, post: 300246, member: 41817"] It's a tough call right? One thing I do want to say, being overweight and that being the cause of diabetes is a topic that is discussed on here quite often. I did believe being overweight was my own fault, and the reason I was diagnosed. Now, I'm not so sure. Things I have read, lead me to suspect we are carb intolerant, like some people are wheat, or lactose intolerant, and due to being carb intolerant we gain weight. What makes me believe that? I began to low carb and the weight fell. As the weight fell, I became slightly more tolerant of carbs. I suspect I am never going to be able to tolerate them like "normal" people, even if I were stick thin, but from only being able to control my BG eating 20g of carbs a day or less, I can now eat around 50g and keep good control. I rarely eat 50g, but some days 30g. I could never have done that when first diagnosed. I do believe we shouldn't get involved in the blame game, any of us T2. If diabetes does turn out to be an effect of carb intolerance, then I am not going to look back thinking I spent my life blaming myself. It is what it it. Chin up, posters here have gone from medication to insulin, and it has been a lot better than they thought. Don't see it as a negative, it could be the making of you. It has been for some others. Best of luck - Joanna [/QUOTE]
