[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2276804, member: 480869"] Welcome. I can only echo a lot of what Ellie has said. Take a look at these links and all the stuff in them. Intro to T2 and low carb. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] All the things I wish I’d been told earlier [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/all-the-things-i-wish-i%E2%80%99d-been-told-at-type-2-diagnosis.173817/']https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/th...ish-i’d-been-told-at-type-2-diagnosis.173817/[/URL] You’ll be better informed than many a type 2 that hasn’t found these or similar forums afterwards. You were diabetic 2 yrs ago at 50. (48 and over is diabetic). Quite frankly this level of blasé and negligence I personally think is outrageous but sadly it’s not uncommon. Too many drs think it’ll only get worse anyway so why bother til it’s really bad :( you say you’ve lost weight? Since when and how much? Did you have plenty to lose or will this leave you gaunt? Whilst not definitive being overweight (a symptom btw not just a cause) makes type 2 more likely. Being slim and losing lots of weight really does mean you should get checked for type 1 as that then is also a possibility (though a few type 1 will also be overweight so no hard and fast rules). Cutting out the sugars could be the simple reason for the weight loss too. As well as the links above the diabetes code by Dr Jason fung is a good starter. as to why you feel rubbish your body is used to swimming in sugar. You are in the process of withdrawing that and your body is having tantrums over it, trying to get you to feed it sugar again.
