Hi.
I've been diagnosed with T2 for about two months now and my latest HbA1c and my own testing indicate that I have it under quite good control. I've opted for the low-carb/more exercise route and I have to say I feel loads better for it. I get nowhere near as fatigued as I used to.
However, I seem to be losing weight at an excessive rate. Over the past two months I've lost 2 stone (28lbs/12kg). I mentioned it to my GP yesterday, but he didn't seem particularly bothered as I'm in the middle of the BMI range for my height.
Would the assorted experienced sages here agree that I should increase my fat intake? I have to confess that doesn't sit easily with me having been brought up with the 'fat is bad' doctrine.
