[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2204863, member: 401801"] Hashimoto's (underactive thyroid) and PCOS here, as well as T2 (and a load of other conditions, for that matter). And have been in the normal range on diet-only (no meds, no insulin) for over three years. So yes, it can be done. It does help if your thyroid meds are at a good level though. If you change the way you eat and start losing weight, you want to keep getting your hormone levels checked too: I had to adjust my meds down by 50 micrograms as I lost weight.

BUT, careful, as with insulin this will 100% certainly give you a hypo, and you don't want that. So if you make any changes, use your meter and ask your diabetes team for help. All in all though, you'll be fine. Jo [/QUOTE]
