[QUOTE="FordPrefect, post: 111046, member: 21168"] All I can say is ignore the gutter press. Look around you how many people are overweight/obese and how many of them are type 2 diabetic? Its only a fraction. You are unfortunate to have a disease you should feel no shame in that. Granted being overweight might make it worse and might have been a triggering factor, its also possible that you have continued to gain weight due to your type 2. I'm not saying you have just that its possible. Remember there are also a number of type 2's out there who are at the right BMI or even underweight. Ulitmately what matters now is getting your illness under control and getting your blood sugars down to a manageable level, screw anyone who gives you **** about it, they really dont know what they are talking about. First off review your carbs I do not advocate low carbing but you really have to control your carbs not only to get your blood sugar under control but to also start losing weight which will help. Try and stick to no more than a handful of carbs in your meals its a very rough measurement I know but best that I can come up with. If you can get hold of a copy of a book about the GI diet I would really recommend using the GI diet as a base on which to start and to then obtain a blood sugar meter so you can test yourself and see what effect various foods have on your bloodsugar levels.
