Hi everyone I'm newly diagnosed 26 year old with type 2 diabetes and looking to use this as a great way to meet people in a similar situation. Are there any groups in london that are good for young people with diabetes? Thanks

Brilliant article. Thank you. Very comprehensive and yet accessible for someone new to all this. I've come away with a new level of understanding. You're a star.

With the caveat that I am newly diagnosed, I'll try my best to explain. Ketosis prone type 2 diabetes (sometimes referred to as flatbush diabetes) basically means I'm type 2 diabetic with the added bonus that I'm much more susceptible to DKA (I was newly diagnosed recently following a hospital...

Thanks for the reply. I really hope this is the case!

Thanks, I really hope you're right. Thanks so much for the reaidng material. I've already ordered them! I do hope I can eventually achieve <30g of carbs a day but as @Andy_Warlow resonantly stated, it's a marathon and not a sprint. With this in mind, I've set myself a realistic goal of <50g a...

Brilliant advice. Thanks mate.

Thanks for the reply. It sounds cliche but it does mean alot people are willing to take the time to help me through this. My basic plan is to lose as much weight as possible so that I can achieve remission. I'm currently obese and aiming for a healthy BMI. To stay in remission, I plan on...

I've recently been diagnosed ketosis prone type 2 diabetic and am trying to fight this and go into remission.

Hello @EllieM, thanks for the helpful reply. I can't help but take full blame and responsibility for getting this disease. If i somehow managed to maintain the healthy lifestyle that i always aspired to, I wouldn't be type 2 diabetic. However, I am trying to accept I have the condition and...

Thank you so much. This is so helpful. I well definitely chase further tests/results and clarify my condition as much as possible.

I'm sorry. I actually don't know what exact test they did to determine i was type 2 ketosis prone other than it was an "antibody" test. I should (and will) do better. I don't think I made this super clear. I was fit until I got depressed and gained alot of weight and become obese (this started...

Hello, thank you so much for the helpful reply. I was actually diagnosed ketosis prone 2 weeks after being discharged from the hospital (yesterday). Although, they did suspect it early on. My wording was just to condense the story/writing. Apologies. I'm happy doing low carb for now (<50g)...

Background I had mostly been a very fit and muscular individual, even having had great generic blood test results that included 26 on the Hba1c. Starting 2 years ago, I went into a decline of my mental and physical health involving depression and rapid weight gain. This peaked recently at an...
