    Weight loss not working - should I give up?

    Thanks, that's really helpful. What kind of things worked for you? How did you lose intra-organic fat? It's my fasting BG that just won't budge - no matter what. I've tried having breakfast, skipping breakfast, not eating for 18 hours. Exercise makes it go up! After meals is less of an issue...

    Thanks - as I said, really not asking for low-carb advice.

    Weight loss not working - should I give up?

    Thanks - I'm really not after low-carb advice because I understand that and I've seen the impact of different foods via my libre and don't really have queries about it. My query is very much about low-calorie, weight-loss and reversal and whether there are people it doesn't work for. Thank you...

    Weight loss not working - should I give up?

    T2, so I'm told. I asked for a GAD test which was negative. My GP seems reluctant to do further tests - wants me to go on metformin. I'll ask again for a c-peptide test - they said no last time. Would it make a difference to treatment though? Apparently there are slim south Asian T2s which I do...

    Confused and worried by diagnosis

    Yes, 20.3 on Friday - 47kg. I am tiny - female dress size 6. I was 52.5kg at diagnosis. I though the excess fat (mainly abdominal) might have been the reason because I used to be as above in my 20s and early 30s.

    Confused and worried by diagnosis

    Thanks everyone - helpful tips. I'm just wondering if there is anyone with a profile like mine who has found that weight loss was not effective? Or does it take time and I need to persist to see an effect? Or do I need to lose a bit more weight? Or could I be misdiagnosed?

    Confused and worried by diagnosis

    Hi Everyone, I've been getting a bit worried recently that my diabetes management attempts aren't working... I was diagnosed in Feb 19 with T2 with an HbA1c of 48, then 51 - no symptoms. I was a bit surprised as I eat quite well and exercise and am slim and only 36 although there is a lot...
