Not necessarily - You seem to have been diagnosed at about the same time as me, but you had a lot of weight to lose - and you have lost the equivalent of a fair sized person. That is a big adjustment to make, but have you been tested and told that your insulin production is low?
Type twos are often producing more than normal amounts of insulin, due to the resistance of their cells, so who can say that in the next year or two you might see an increase in your ability to cope with carbs? It took more than a few months for your metabolism to be whacked out of shape - it might take time to get back on a more even keel.
Just to look on the dark side though - you have got normal levels, but you need to be careful what you eat for the rest of your life - but that is it - watch what you eat - all over the world there are people with allergies, people living in unhygienic situations - they have to do the same to try to stay healthy - if you go on in the same way you could have a long healthy life. Maybe that is not so bad?
You can always have a moan here - even a rant - we know some of what you have gone through - though I was lucky and I can probably eat more carbs - at least I think I can, I don't know when I'll be tested again.
I try to think of it as the modern diet being wrong, not me - probably why I just ate a dinner with the first course being raspberries and the second some roast beef. It was intended to be the other way round, but oh well that is how it turned out. No harm done.
