My DN reckons I’m T2, my GP reckons I’m T1, they’ve suspected this since June. My appointment with an Endocrinologist isn’t until November. So I splashed out £240 on a consultation with a diabetes specialist on Friday 14th. He has me in tomorrow for a blood test, so hopefully I might find out soon.
The low ish carb diet, some days under 20g rarely over 40g has me down from 18s in June at diagnosis to mainly 6s to 9s and Hba1c is down from 126 to 67.
My question is weight and energy related I’ve always been a strong and fit 14 stone 6 footer, now I’m struggling to stay above 12 stone and maintain energy levels. Has anybody had a similar experience? I do between 1 and 3 hours exercise per day so try and eat plenty to fuel that. I know my BG levels are helped by eating less but that makes me lose weight. Any comments/advice will be gratefully received.
