Hi and thanks for the addition to the Group.
Having been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes some 9 years ago. Staring off well with diet etc, I eventually became rather 'blase' about my condition after a couple of years. I started to rapidly lose weight about three years ago and although this became a concern I did not connect it with my mismanagement of my diabetes (taking only 1 Metformin a day when 3 had been prescribed). I was recently admitted to hospital with AF problems and underwent a triple bypass.
My level on admission was 25 !!!. Since the op three weeks ago Ive been strict on my management and have readings at acceptable levels and Ive put on a couple of pounds.
My question is. Is it possible that the weight loss due to my mismanagement of my condition ? Trying to look for answers online only finds weight loss as a remedy to diabetes in most cases
Thank You
