So, diabetes only strikes fat people eh? NOT

Hi Jenny, I wasn't overweight until after being diagnosed with diabetes 10
years ago and put on a "diabetic diet", very high carb, 3-5 fruits per day,
plenty of pasta, bread and very little meat, no eggs, fake cream, etc. I
gained a bunch of weight on this diet and ended up on insulin! Sheesh, not a
good diet for me, what a mess!! The low carb WOE has helped me lose some of
that weight but the best feature is controlling my diabetes.

I became a type II diabetic long before I had a weight problem, developed
the weight problem as a result of blood sugar swing-induced hunger, lost
the
weight, stayed diabetic, and am currently at a normal BMI and body fat
level
and still diabetic. The first time I was diagnosed with "prediabetes" on a
glucose tolerance test I weighted 108 lbs.

Lots of people do become diabetic because of overweight, but some of us
have
genetic problems that cause the syndrome too.

It's my understanding that some research is indicating that gaining
weight is probably an effect of the whole process of becoming a
non-insulin-dependent diabetic. Like Parkinson's, it's thought that
a significant amount of the progression happens before there are any
symptoms and may take 20+ years before symptoms show up.

In fact, some doctors are starting to treat patients who combine
weight gain with hypoglycemia as pre-diabetic even if they can pass
a glucose tolerance test in hopes of preventing or slowing down the
progression to diabetes.

HA! The first time I dieted, I got the ADA exchanges diet and
initiated a round of yo-yo dieting that left me much, much fatter
than when I started.

I've heard the diet has changed in recent years (which is a good thing).

My doc has muttered something along the lines of nobody really being sure
which comes first, PCOS or insulin resistance or weight ...

I read a long but fascinating article about insulin on the
lowcarbresearch.org website a month or so ago. Unfortunately I can't for the
life of me find it again, but it was broken into about 4 documents because
it was so long.

But it went into all the different things that insulin affects or is
responsible for, and it was quite amazing just how many things are
influenced by insulin in one way or another.
