[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1754051, member: 401801"] Being a type 2 doesn't mean you have to be morbidly obese. People can be skinny on the outside, fat on the inside; fat cells packed around the internal organs (did you get checked for a fatty liver?) won't show as bellyfat, per se. An echo would show it, as would a scan, but you wouldn't be able to tell just looking at a person; they could be downright skinny. And whether you eat biological health foods doesn't really matter in terms of diabetes.. Carbs are carbs, no matter their origin, and we can't process those properly, but you've already noticed that. So while research is still being done and tests too, don't rule out type 2 just yet. (For me, I'm glad it's that one... I find it relatively easy to control with diet only). If it is, continuing low carb will be best if you want to try and avoid medication and complications. (Though protein can push your bs up too, you might want to consider eating more fat. That one doesn't spike bs at all.). Diabetes is only a very progressive disease if we do nothing about it. And you're off to a good start. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
