My T2 was caused by PCOS as well, and the hospital dietician put me on massive amounts of carbs... When I ballooned I was a liar (no way was I following her low fat, hig carb diet), and if it was true, well, then I was just one of those people who needed to accept being "fat". Mind you, at this point I didn't know I was insulin resistant, but her diet did push me to very, very high blood sugar levels and left me thoroughly diabetic, with a very bad case of non alcoholic fatty liver disease, high cholesterol and whatnot. The only thing I didn't have under the "metabolic syndrome" umbrella was high blood pressure. So... After some research I started low carb, high fat. My bloodsugars have been in the normal range ever since, cholesterol went down, my normal blood pressure actually went low, (easily fixed with a sprinkle of extra salt), my liver recovered. I know everything we're telling you here sounds absolutely insane, but it does work. And if you had a meter, you could check for yourself what works for you. Sadly, with the NHS not covering those, you'll have to fund one yourself, but... it IS worth it, and it's not forever. I still have strips around, but only use them when I'm ill with Covid or something, to keep an eye on things.You'll be okay.Hugs,Jo</blockquote>
