[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 685910, member: 85785"] Before my misdiagnosis, I was advised by docs and DSNs to 'diet' and exercise! My exercise daily at that time was a full shift walking on a production line and you had to be fit to do that. I had 4 teenagers that kept me on my feet and when not working I was busy doing chores, housework, sporting things with my kids etc. My weight increased because I was eating the wrong things, for me, carbs and sugars! Since eating very low carbs everything has changed. However if in my mindset I decided to change my diet, the symptoms would return and my BSLs would soar and I would put on weight again! You have to decide what's best for you by testing and experimenting. Low carbing for me is a no brainer! If you are in control your energy levels increase, your BSLs normalise, your BP, cholestrol. Liver function and fatty liver decrease etc. You actually feel better and fitter! Am I cured? No! Will I ever be cured? No! Will I lose my intolerance to carbs and sugars? No! Will I suffer from complications? Probably, but not for a long time if I'm in control! Will I ever come off my meds? Never! Will I ever be T1 or T2 etc? Probably, as my pancreas will eventually give out! I am a realist with a serious condition, if I ignore what is obvious, then I will become seriously ill! Do I want that? No way! Is there a cure for T2 diabetes? Not yet! Not until something can normalise insulin and glucagon production from your pancreas and your endocrine system can handle a normal amount of carbs and sugars! [/QUOTE]
