[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2647604, member: 506169"] Hi [USER=573482]@Steve1951[/USER] and welcome to the forum. I think you mean that you were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. It isn't a 'stage': Type 1 diabetes is an auto immune condition where the insulin producing cells have been damaged - so is a condition of low insulin. Type 2 is mainly insulin resistance - it is being produced, sometimes in large quantities, but not able to do its job properly until there is much more than normal because the body resists it. Thus it's mainly a condition of high insulin. The various Type 3 subtypes denote different causes for damage to the insulin producing cells - just not including being attacked by the immune system. I get the feeling that your doctor has told you very little about your diabetes or about how what you eat affects it. I'm puzzled by your description of your 'diabetic attack' because if 2 chocolate bars improved it, then it sounds more likely to have been caused by low blood glucose (hypoglycaemia) than by high blood glucose (hyperglycaemia). And may be caused by another condition such as reactive hypoglycaemia. Here is a blog entry which covers most of what you need to know about Type 2 diabetes: [URL unfurl="true"]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
