[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2639806, member: 196898"] Responding to Post#3 in this thread, my take on it is that science has not yet uncovered or identified any specific cause or effect that is a proven trigger for T2D. There are many hypo(theses) as to what is the root cause or efffect, but nothing to hang a definite hat on. Until we understand what causes T2D, we are left with dealing with the symptoms, and hopefully minimising those to attain a reasonable quality of life. Personally, I am happy to have been diagnosed with this conditon - there are multitudonous other conditions that are worse and often terminal. At least I get my bloods analysed annually, and I get health checks free and frequent. I have the means to monitor my health to a deeper understanding than most 'normal' people do, and I get to be able to change my lifestyle to help keep me fit and active, which at my age is often a severe challenge for even normal people. Speaking of challenges, your post#3 indicates you may be vegetarian, and in this you will face a greater challenge than me (an omnivore) when seeking remission. I have used low carb to reverse my condition so I can eat those items you want to continue eating, but they come at a cost. For instance, my daughter got married last week, and she had a vegetarian buffet with vegan canapes. My blood sugars immediately responded with very high sugar levels, and I am only just getting my readings back to the prediabetic level I had been achieving for the last 8 years. So my 'Remission' is a myth - I am still very diabetic regardless of what my blood readings may say. But i am in a much better place than I was 8 years ago when I first started LCHF. [/QUOTE]
