[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 866481, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. I would look at your carb intake and keep it, say, below 200gm/day max if you can. Take blood tests 2 hours after a meal and it should be below 8.5 mmol. There is a hint that you may be pre-diabetic but more tests are needed. At your young age and being slim if you do having diabetes moving in will would almost certainly be T1. T1 is where the islet cells are failing and you don't produce enough insulin to use the carbs you eat hence you lose weight. T2 is where you have insulin resistance thru excess weight and the islet cells may be producing too much insulin but the body can't use it efficiently; I'm generalising of course. Do see the GP anyway. [/QUOTE]
