[QUOTE="Valerie_london, post: 377673, member: 56263"] I've been reading the 'blame game' thread, but didn't want to hijack that. My mother is an underweight T2 diabetic, who before being diagnosed as diabetic last November, had an extremely sweet tooth... and as she was trying to put on weight, saw absolutely no reason not to indulge it. Now, she obviously has to be a lot more careful what she eats, especially as she still is rarely in single fasting figures. She is doing really well and though she has cut her carb intake down drastically, she really can't go too low, as she needs to try and increase her weight, and there seems to be a physical limit to how much dairy and meat stuff she can activally eat/digest. Obviously, those who are overweight and T2 have a completely different struggle. My question is a bit tongue in cheek, and apologies if it is a bit too controversial, but... who do you believe has the biggest mountain to climb in controlling their T2 diabetes? (I've actually already concluded that both have similar but different problems, but thought I'd post this anyway) [/QUOTE]
