[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2472125, member: 521079"] Hi there mid you’ve been running high bloods for a while then it’s not uncommon to lose weight without trying, it’s one of the side effects. It is known in type 2, I had the same symptoms. It is more common in type 1 but isn’t so unusual As I understand it, human body doesn’t like too much sugars in the blood and wants to get rid of it, so makes you want to urinate it out but it’s not good for you. With hba1c at your levels, it could easily be that I could imagine. lower carbs often helps people lose weight as well as lowering sugars so that’s a good option. It’s not an option perhaps all in the NHS have followed so they might not be onboard. Come speak to us on the forums, we can help! driving wise, as [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] and [USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER] said, you aren’t on drugs that are a major concern here and getting your control is a good way to keep you away from that stress won’t help, easier said than done but try to be as calm as you can. Many of us have decades of T2. It’s something to control but we can with knowledge, it doesn’t have to control us testing for us T2s outside of certain meds isn’t recommended by the NHS and so they don’t usually provide the way to. however it is a good way to help us understand how foods impact us. We usually have to self fund but there are cheaper ways. Lowering carbs and losing weight can help and if it’s only possible to use hba1c from the doctor then that’s a way also but that might only be every 6 months. if you want to share your diet, we can maybe offer suggestions or there are forums on here with good suggestions for food. It does change what we can eat but hopefully there are solutions that improve. Good luck [/QUOTE]
