[QUOTE="Charks, post: 2373274, member: 539312"] Hi Amy Your story is similar to mine. Until recently I was always slim. Then I suddenly put on a lot of weight. I think this weight gain made me a diabetic type 2. To cut a long story short once diagnosed with diabetes I bought a blood glucose monitor. My readings were all over the place - totally erratic. Then I found out that I had celiac disease that had been undiagnosed for many years. I had no symptoms apart from indigestion and sleeping problems. Which I put down to stress. Apparently the sudden weight gain is typical of late onset celiac disease. Celiac disease means that I have unpredictable absorption which makes it very difficult to control blood sugar. I found the best way to control it is periods of fasting i.e. Dr Jason Fung advice. I finish eating at 9pm and don't eat again until after 1pm. It sound a long time but you are asleep most of the time. Basically all you would be doing is missing breakfast. It's worth a try. And please look up the symptoms of celiac disease. I always thought that gluten intolerance was a made up disease but I've learnt the hard way that it isn't. [/QUOTE]
