Hello all - newly diagnosed - about 4 days ago, having been told by the Dr. my readings were normal - normal for what? - 18 monyths ago.

Living on veg soup and poached eggs on toast is going to grow old very soon I think! Still feeling shell shocked about the whole thing.

A discussion on what makes someone T2
I’m not so sure that malfunction is the right word for the majority of type 2 (though it could be). Imuslin resistrance would be the place I lay the cause of type 2 label. Problem is that leads to “what causes insulin resistance?” T 2 has two elements - Insulin Resistance and a pancreas that...
