[QUOTE="Streety, post: 1376425, member: 219343"] Hi Fiona, I understand the frustration. I've found this forum to be an excellent resource. Because of my extra weight, people assume it's type 2 whereas it's the condition that's made me gain weight. I actually eat rather well before and after diagnosis. For what it's worth, my history is: diagnosed in Nov 2014. still insulin free with hba1c of 6 I'm technically in remission. I started on metformin but it had bad gastric reactions for me at the nether end I tried exanitide on specialist recommendation but it made me very nauseous Now I am doing very well with victoza (liraglutide) and forxiga. I still need to lose weight but low carb / high fat has been a revelation. I'm still trying to hone my diet but it's lovely being able to eat a decent meal again rather than stick to low calories. I'm losing weight very slowly but get stymied any time something stressful happens in my life. My levels are good but go up when I'm fighting a cold or infection. I do think the changes in my system have made me prone to fatigue and depression, so watch out for that. Exercise is my friend and is good for weight, heart and depression. Good luck with your journey! [/QUOTE]
