[QUOTE="ShortStuff, post: 2114714, member: 60140"] I’m not st all surprised you’re in shock - I guess it’s good news, but 11years they’ve treat you as T1. That's pretty scary I think probably the most valuable thing you can do for yourself is to try to come to terms with this misdiagnosis and get your head around NOT having T1D first! I’m ‘diet controlled’ low carb. I’m vegetarian and don’t eat eggs, so getting protein is a but of a trial, but with exercise (just walking 10,000 steps min a day) I can keep my Bg in the normal range (at worst in the pre diabetic range) What I cant do is lose much weight - it’s glacially slow (even with TRE & IF) so I’m going to try fast 800 when I get back (currently in holiday in France, enjoying the odd off piste bits & pieces!) Slimming world really isn’t the answer for T2’s (not most people I don’t think, that’s why it’s a big business, if it worked they’d go out of business. IMHO). Your body is coping with a lot, give it time to settle When I was first diagnosed T2 I found Dr Briffas book ‘Escaoe the diet trap’ brilliant, lots of information in an easy to read format. I’ve since read a lot by Taubes, Bernstein, Jason fung & many others and truly believe low carb IS the answer to better BG levels, but for some of us weight loss requires a restriction in calories as well hence me going to do the F800 [/QUOTE]
