Hi, I was diagnosed 12 yrs ago with type 2 even though I was super fit and not overweight. Within 3 months of being diagnosed I
was put on Novarapid and Levimir. In July, after doing a lot of research and my GP contacting Newcastle university I started the 8 wk 800 calorie/50 carb a day diet and lost 2 stone 7lb - I was told to stop losing weight as I was beginning to look ill but I felt fantastic but unfortunately it did not reverse my diabetes in fact at the end of the 8 wks my HBA1C was up to 84!!. I thought they had it wrong and that I must be a type 1 but apparently not. I feel really low about it as I have worked so hard on the diet and I have always been very active and eaten healthy. I am now back to injecting 4 times a day and really had enough
