I'm going to ask my DN when I see her in August why she is so sure I am type 2. I did ask her when I was first diagnosed as type 2 and I can't remember why she said I was definitely type 2. I'm currently taking 4 metformin per day and I've been low carb since February so maybe I need to give it more time. My A1c was 76 in January and on the last test it was 52. So it is going in the right direction, but recently my daily levels have risen slightly.OK, this is probably a crazy suggestion, but...
If you need carbs to gain weight, could you go on insulin for a while so as to keep your blood sugars normal while you gain weight, and then go back to low carb afterwards???
And @mazza 2 , are you sure you're T2 and not T1, LADA etc. Diet can't help if you're not producing insulin....
