[QUOTE="Scandichic, post: 561574, member: 94210"] I read your posts with interest. It's true, most t2 when diagnosed are overweight. In my case horrendously obese for my height. I believe the figure is 80% of t2 when diagnosed are overweight. What's interesting though is that only 20% of obese people have diabetes. I don't think that it as simple as having eaten yourself into this state and there is increasing evidence that genetics as well as an unhealthy life style plays a part. You talk about moderation but since getting a meter I have learnt that all the things which I considered healthy raise my bs and make me feel very ill. (Rice, pasta, bread). Potatoes funnily enough are not too bad but I don't like them :( by eating low carb and upping my fat content I have lost 2 stone 6lbs. My bs came down to 5.5 a 6.5 in day with fasting at 6.2 - 6.8 most days. To get to my ideal weight, I need to lose another 3 stone 9lbs. Apart from when I am ill, my energy levels are fine. Infact recently I have done more exercise. Obviously we are all different and we should all do what works for us. My hubbie was 2 stone overweight and therefore obese. Very sporty up till when we had kids. Did LCHF for 3 months and lost 2 stone. Not diabetic and now at target weight. Does quite a bit of sport these days and has no issue with energy levels. I don't know what type you are or what you weigh but maybe you could try it before writing it off completely. [/QUOTE]
