I was diagnosed in Nov 13 with Type after my blood level was 33. Since then i have been put on Slow release Metformin 2 x 1000 at night. I currently have tingling sensation in my legs and my weight has dropped by over 13Kg since then. I keep an eye on my food intake and test myself twice a day and the last few weeks it has varied from 6.8 to 20.4 on a couple of days. I have not done any exercise for a few weeks due to an injury but hope to start again soon. My question is will the weight loss stop soon or could it be something else and would i need to maybe go onto something like Gliclazide as i dont wish to go onto Insulin as i am unable and uncomfortable to jab myself. My HBa1C has come down from 10.1 in Dec to 7.1 back in early April.
 
maybe the fats are visceral fats. you have to lose them first. meanwhile you have to retain your weight with non visceral fats.

nowadays there are many theories on these fats and how are they stored. thats why people here try the lchf diet. personally i dun see harm trying. but i cannot guarantee it works for everyone.

noone here knows how much fat you have in there and noone here can provide an answer. since you sees primary results, you should know it better that have it drop to the normal range will be good and best that you reverse it altogether.

i usually hate to give suggestion to anyone with diabetes. when people sacrifice their diet and did not get better, they will blame the fault. as if i gave them diabetes in the first place. some will tell you in the face that they are already used to the diet and still living.
