[QUOTE="25yokpt2, post: 2380012, member: 540260"] [U][B]Background[/B][/U] I had mostly been a very fit and muscular individual, even having had great generic blood test results that included 26 on the Hba1c. Starting 2 years ago, I went into a decline of my mental and physical health involving depression and rapid weight gain. This peaked recently at an estimated 140kg+ weight (6ft tall) and I went into sudden DKA. I phoned an ambulance and stayed in hospital for a week and left with a diagnosis of ketosis prone type 2 diabetes. I'm on 26 units levermir (morning/evening respectively), 6 units novorapid before each meal, 1000mg metformin (morning and evening respectively) and 20mg citalopram as a precaution for the depression. I won't begin to describe my thoughts and emotions as it's expansive and abundant as i'm sure people can imagine. Right now, I'm intent on managing this condition well, aiming for remission by losing weight and revising my diet. I just have a few questions on my specific type of diabetes and i'd appreciate any help. 1. Are there any must-have resources that people always recommend (eg, recipe books, literally anything). 2. Some variation of the keto diet/ LCHF seems the clear way to go for me (<50g carbs). Is there any risks associated with keto/lchf diets? is 50g carbs too much? 3. Assuming I achieve remission through exercise, weight loss and diet, is it possible to stay in remission for the rest of my life with ketosis prone diabetes? If not, how long can i expect? 4. Being diagnosed so young at 25, I'm concerned about my life expectancy and quality of life. Is anyone able to give me an idea of what I can expect if i manage my condition well? 5. I'd appreciate any stories or people to talk to who have ketosis prone diabetes. 6. I'm london based and keen to engage in the diabetic community. Are there any obvious steps to start doing so? Thanks everybody. [/QUOTE]
