[QUOTE="fergus, post: 21512, member: 6150"] Hi Dannii, and I'm sorry to hear of your rough baptism. I agree with some of the previous posts, your diagnosis is not clear and you have not had a good service. The weight loss you describe is symptomatic of a loss of insulin production, more commonly associated with type 1. You are also very slim which is another trait of t1's on diagnosis. The age thing is less of an issue since many t2's are being diagnosed much younger these days. Your doc clearly believes it to be t2 and has done what the book says in asking you to reduce your carbohydrate intake. Sugars are a start, but be aware that bread, rice, potatoes and rice can raise your blood sugars just as much, and often just as quickly. Keep a close eye on your blood glucose numbers and if they continue to rise despite your dietary changes, get yourself to A&E as soon as. Good luck and keep us posted, fergus [/QUOTE]
