[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2413900, member: 401801"] Yeah... Atkins is just about right, not flippant at all! Eggs with bacon and cheese and ham and whatever cold cuts you want to stack on there are back on the menu. ;) Do keep in mind that unexplained weight loss (considering the amounts of carbs you've been having and the high blood sugars that went with it...) can be an indicator for type one, though I lost 10 k out of the blue and was a T2 after all, but I'd had 20.0+ mmol/l blood sugars for quite a while. You mention that popcorn is a lot of carbs, but a lot of that's fibre. Ah, no, it's not. Sorry. :( In the USA you subtract the fibre from the total carbs, but on this side of the pond they're already been subtracted. The carbs really are [I]exactly[/I] the carbs, which means there's a lot of them. But hey, pork scratchings are nice. ;) Since your type's still a bit iffy, if [I]at any point[/I] you feel decidedly unwell, sick, confused, whatever, and you can't blame it on metformin, test, and if you're high call 111 and tell them you're diabetic with type still being decided upon. Diabetic ketoacidosis could happen, and you want help asap if it does. But having seen the amount of carbs you were having, I think a bit of dietary improvement'll make quite a difference. Good luck!
