[QUOTE="Metabolism_Boss, post: 2307651, member: 407045"] Sorry to hear that you have felt isolated after being diagnosed with type 2 at the beginning of the COVID 19 outbreak. I think you may have been seeing little movement in your blood sugar readings due to the stress you've put yourself under, for example by going without food for 24 hours. Your numbers are not bad, and so you can afford to start slowly and work out what foods you can and can't eat. Many of us have settled on some form of low carb diet, as not only does it effectively control blood sugar, but it also helps with appetite control. The good news is that you have quite a bit of weight to lose - which means you are likely to see good improvements in your blood sugar numbers as you lose weight. The liver takes a bashing when its owner has diabetes and controlling the amount of alcohol you consume would help it a lot. There is lots of information on this site on diet and diabetes management in general, and this forum is a goldmine when you need answers to specific questions. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
