Hi
@Tannith
I really want to echo what
@Brunneria said. Most if not all of the people that are posting in this thread are not doing it to upset you in any way. They are concerned both for you and for others who may be reading this thread.
You are obviously very distressed to have diabetes. I get that. I really do. I personally would love to believe that I could wave the magic wand and not be a diabetic. The only reason for that (for me) is so I could go back and consume carbs. I love carbs. I have done very l.ow carb for almost 2 years and unlike some lucky people my tastes have not changed- or have changed but not completely- hard to say when I haven't eaten the food I would like for that time.
The thing is I fit into your description of someone that completely has done what should be sufficient to not be a diabetic. I lost about 30 kgs within less than 2 years of diagnosis and weigh less than I did when I didn't have diabetes. But guess what I still have diabetes. I am still intolerant to carbs. I have come to terms with it. While I would like to eat carbs it no longer occupies my mind and I no longer feel sad. I have actually accepted it. I find the less carbs but also the less 'carb like' food I eat the less I suffer. I still have artificial sweeteners but not a huge amount. It have found my own balance.
I like others really worry for you. I hope that what you are doing works for you. I am also concerned that you may be causing yourself harm in the process.
I would really be happy if it works for you. We all want to achieve remission or whatever you want to call it. But we most of all want everyone to be safe and not cause more damage to themselves.
So I hope you read the comments in that light. My experience of this forum is that people are acting from a position of care and compassion and concern. I can't tell you how supportive people here have been when I struggled. I really did struggle. People did not judge me but helped and supported me and that is what I see people doing here.
If you came back and said your approach worked everyone would be glad. We are always happy to hear success stories.
Take care of yourself.
