Probably T2 since 1967 (gestational diabetes unrecognised)
Diagnosed first by me, then by doctor around 2005
Weight depressingly high since birth of first son in '67
Low carbing since 2017 - felt better but no change in BG or weight
Since September '19 IF and low calorie diet - lost about one stone in a month
November '19 stuck at 15st 10lb since early October
Gained weight again up to almost 19 stone; lost it again with very strict carb control down to 16st 8lb
Also probably some kidney problems - doctor not bothered
BG control better than it was. Last HBa1c was 53 in August 2023 - down from mid 60's in 2022.
