I was diagnosed last year with type 2 diabetes and have been treating it with metformin (currently 1000mg/day) as well as trying to eat healty (low-carb, high protein) and staying active.
Since diagnosis I have lost 25 pounds (quite easily without a lot of change in my habits - I was already quite active and eating well), but my BS numbers have not really improved, in fact they seems to be rising, despite doubling my medication. In the morning it is usually about 130-150, and 2 hours post meal it is often over 200, and occasionally over 300. I am starting to wonder about it being type 2 since I seem to not have any of the risk factors or indications...
I'm 23, weigh 125 pounds (I'm 5'5"), I'm active, and have absolutely no family history.
Anyone have any ideas? thanks!
