[QUOTE="DawnOfTheZed, post: 2118227, member: 501602"] Thanks to OP for posting. Your weightlifting may well have counterbalanced your overconsumption of carbs (for you). Stopping that and increased weight pushed you into diabetes. I think things have changed now so one can't order tests (or px) for oneself (good old days - or perhaps more ethical attitude?) So suggest OP confirm T2 controlled by diet rather than T1.5 or Lada/Mody etc by requesting c-peptide, insulin and Gad ab blood tests. Then going fwd, may I ask if there's a reason you've not gone back to weight lifting? I presumed you've had the hernia repaired, but does that indicate a general weakness so no more weights? Please read around here. Others have found intermittent fasting, eg 16:8, or 5-2, various exercise from gym to walking, helped. Most successful to many here is not eating the food stuff your body metabolises poorly, so lower carb than nhs eatwell plate. Success particularly by avoiding simple sugars, ie fruits except a few berries, starches, ie rice, potato, root veg, floured products., ie breads, cakes. Suggest you have regular hba1c as you try to work out what works for you. Better would be using a (self funding?) glucometer to check what different meals do for you. I would strongly recommend Dr Unwins module on the RC GP site, specially for GPs. And please spend some time training up on this area for both your own and your patients benefits. Likelihood is diabetes will increase in the population for some time unfortunately (due to eatwell plate and food industry lobbying). Good luck! Edited to correct grammatical errors. [/QUOTE]
