[QUOTE="123Jo123, post: 309556, member: 47800"] Hi Guys I was diagnoised as type 2 about 16 weeks ago and told to control it with diet. Ended up loosing one stone and with sugars of 17 and 4 plus keytones and in hospital. The Endo there thought I was going to be type one or lada - they kept me in hospital for a few days and gave me metformin and i reacted well to it. My GAD results have come back negative and I have been told my insulin is on the low side of normal. I am being refered to Addenbrookes but still waiting to go. HOWEVER I am still loosing weight - not a lot but it is a daily battle and believe me I cant afford to loose any more. I have been eating very high fat foods (like a donner kebab) and im still gradually loosing weight. I cant eat any carbs at all for breakfast without big spike but can start to eat carbs after 10 ish and then i seem to be able to eat more as the day goes on. Levels between 6 - 8. I am 44 and have been an aerobic instructor for about 8 years upto last year. Always been slim and fit. I am on 1000 met with breccie and 500 with dinner. I am absolutely starving - even though Im eating lots. Within an hour of eating I am getting bad hunger pains. I have quite a few diabetic type one friends and they keep telling me that I am type 1 yet my diabetic nurse said that if i have not gad antibodies i can be. Please help i feel like I am shrinking away !!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
