[QUOTE="Smallbrit, post: 1924240, member: 456748"] There are indeed some of us on this forum who are type 2 and don’t conform to the stereotype. I had a HBA1C of 89 at diagnosis and similar BMI to yours. I’m 5ft 0” so was 8st 3-6lbs then. In my case, I have not been on any meds and lowered my HBA1C to 76 by increasing exercise alone and not diet, then lowered it to 48 by following a very reduced carb diet. I inadvertently lost 7 lbs by doing that, so had to up my fat intake to stop the weight loss. So it’s a low carb, high fat type of eating, which quite a lot of people on this forum follow, that can keep glucose levels at more manageable levels. I’m sure more people will be along with useful advice in the morning, but welcome to the forum! [/QUOTE]
