[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2346596, member: 372717"] Well, I'm slightly surprised that as a T2 you were losing weight on a high carb diet (though it's not unknown), so I'm going to say one note of warning. If it turns out that you are T1/LADA rather than T2 then that would explain the weight loss, and the reduced carbs would probably put you in remission for a while (LADA is slow onset T1 and you go on producing insulin for quite a while, so might well still be producing enough for a low carb diet). If your levels start to go back up you should hurry to your GP and get c-peptide and GAD tests just to rule this out, as you don't want a diagnosis via diabetic ketoacidosis (requires a trip to intensive care and fatal without insulin). Unless these tests were done in hospital? But it sounds like you have the right attitude and will get on top of this whatever type of diabetes you have. [/QUOTE]
