[QUOTE="Babble, post: 2451870, member: 353764"] Hi I have recently been diagnosed with T2 Diabetes. I had Gestational Diabetes twice and the last pregnancy was 7 years ago. Both babies were 7lb full term, diet controlled until the last weeks with the second when I had insulin for a couple of weeks. My hba1c levels have crept up over the past 7 years, despite avoiding sugar/ carbs and not smoking or drinking. Last recorded at 54. I have always been ‘Slim’ and with a BMI of 20 at 5ft 11 I’m being told not to loose weight. I have been advised to go on the NHS diet education programme, but I feel I know what I am doing diet and exercise wise by using my meter, as demonstrated throughout my pregnancies. Previous experience of advise from a dietitian doesn’t seem to work for me and I stick to low carb high fat. My cholesterol, blood pressure etc are all in the low or normal levels. I’m just wondering if there are any others out there in the same boat. I just seem to get the same gobsmacked looks from Nurses and Doctors and lots of muttering about how I don’t look like a T2 which isn’t very helpful and is really getting me down. [/QUOTE]
