My progress in reversing T2

Hard to say, I really don't count, I've just checked after I reintroduced different foods, then rechecked over time.

Typically if i eat breakfast, I'll eat fruit or a small bowl of cereal.

Lunch though the week is a salad, at the weekends probably a sandwich and crisps. Meals are whatever my family are having, tonight I had to jacket potatoes with tuba and salad.

My last week' meals have been: burger and chips, lasagne, cottage pie, thai curry with rice, rissoto, salmon noodles, roast dinner. Most days with some form of desert.

I've not really been counting carbs so no idea, but calories wise I'd guess 800-1200 for dinner.

This Saturday I went on a stag do, only ate lunch. Then Sunday had 4 rounds of toast in the morning, a kfc at 11, Eaton mess and chocoate bar at 3pm, then roast dinner at my mum's at night + a bottle of wine at night. I checked myself throughout the day and didnt go above high 5's.

Admittedly not sure what contributes to being able to eat higher carbs, it might be the lower carbs through the day or the exercise.

My main question, which I've not got answered is if exposing a compromised pancreas to carbs (although fine now) will mean it will deteriate overtime?
I think it was Dr Jason Fung (advocate of Intermittent fasting for reversing T2) who said that after reversal, if you have a higher carb meal, have a fasting day with liquids (16 hours or something, can't remember) in order to give your liver a chance to empty its glycogen stores again. Look up his videos for the exact information.
