[QUOTE="Jo123, post: 841642, member: 13144"] Hi cheesejunkie, I was in your position a few years ago, however my BMI was under 25 but not as low as yours. I was devestated as I eat healthily, exercised and have watched my weight all my life, being slim was an effort for me! And I take my mum to all her hospital appointments for a myriad of serious health conditions, directly or indirectly caused by her type 2 diabetes, which according to NHS guidelines she has very good control of. I was really gutted and then I found this website bought a blood glucose monitor and decided to low carb. Now let me say this isn't a diet I would choose by choice, and I have my misgivings about the high fat element, however though I am far more concerned by the results of high blood sugar to my health. So I low carbed and now years later my last hba1c was 32, which would be good for a normal person. My BMI now, just done it, is 19.1, but like you never having been fat, I am quite happy with and feel good at, so you could get your BMI down to 19. I walk 5 miles a day briskly, and am very strict with my low carbing. It is a pain but the results were instant for me in that the tiredness stopped, no more weeing in the night, blurred vision stopped and my legs, which I used to itch till they bled stopped itching. I was only diagnosed pre diabetic with a fasting reading of 6.1, so only just gone into pre diabetic readings! I do test myself occasionally and have found that things I used to get high readings from I no longer do, so I do think my pancreas has recovered to some degree. Anyway good luck and honestly I felt better straightaway once I cut my carbs. [/QUOTE]
