[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2431683, member: 85785"] Do you really understand what is happening to you? T2 diabetes is a condition that is higher than normal blood glucose range. The way it works over time, is you without knowing are persistently causing harm to your digestive system. And this effects your hormonal response and your organs. Inflammation is the result, and inflammation causes a lot more problems. Then you begin to get insulin resistance and this means you need more insulin to deal with not enough for the glucose derived from the intake of food. Because the excess insulin doesn't do its job because of the insulin resistance, you will find that the amount of insulin circulating is detrimental to your health and increasing your blood glucose levels up slowly but surely. This will turn in time to weight gain in some cases. Most of your hormonal response changes in time and because your body cannot cope with these changes and because you are doing what is recommended for your meals you are creating a viscous circle going upwards to higher and higher blood glucose levels. More excess insulin and other factors take effect. This circle will not stop going higher until you take control of your blood glucose levels. This means reducing your carbs and sugar intake, reducing your portion size, Do more walking, and if you reduce your carbs enough, you can reverse the cycle. My own personal experience, I was eating recommended carbs by my medical care team, for over a decade and I had a fatty liver, problems with weight and suffering symptoms like brain fog and anxiety. I have what is called carb intolerance and my hormones were all over the place. I had hyperinsulinaemia (too much insulin) and continued to put weight on despite not eating much. After diagnosis, I researched the web, and found this site, I was nearly eighteen stone, and not in good health. I changed my lifestyle and my diet. I stopped putting weight on, I became more clear minded, my health slowly improved, and the symptoms eased. I went through a lot of tests and after all that, my weight dropped off, I after a few months, lost nearly six stone and my health improved so much. I was diagnosed with my condition in 2012/13. I had a cat scan and full blood panel in hospital recently The result. Other than wear and tear, my body is free of any problems, nothing showed up and my blood levels Hba1c were 37, my blood was clear. My doctors in hospital couldn't believe that I was so healthy after everything I had gone through. If I hadn't have changed my life, I would not be writing this. I'm 66 and mobile, I did work, but have now retired. It's carbs and sugar that mostly cause metabolic conditions. Getting your dietary balance right is so important, getting control of your blood glucose levels is as important, improving your health is what everyone should be doing.. Please do take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
