About 80% of people diagnosed with type 2 are obese or overweight. I have lost about 11 Kg since being diagnosed by eating a Low Carb diet and intermittent fasting. I am no longer obese, but still have another 6 Kg to lose to be no longer overweight.
I have been trying to lose weight for a very long time without success, but it was the ditching of carbs after being diagnosed with type 2 that was the key. My blood pressure has also normalised since eating low carb. So, all things considered I feel thankful that I have been diagnosed with type 2 as it has dramatically improved my health and now I can manage my diabetes through diet and fasting.
Type 1 diabetes does seem to be a far more serious condition and many type 1 sufferers seem to have poor control. I don't envy them for being able to eat more carbs and take more insulin to cover. My view is that a high carb diet dramatically shortens your life expectancy whether you have diabetes or not.
