Wheeewww,Perkdog, I will have to read your post a few times before I get it all. But-----You are hearing from someone who had followed a low fat,high fructose( lots of fruits,I thought that was what I was supposed to be doing) and kept gaining wt and feeling tired and sluggo all day long. Always felt like I could take a nap. I was dx'd type 2 DM 4 months ago. Had the spare tire and could not understand why I could not lose wt with what I was eating. I am beginning to understand what has been happenning. Now following low carb diet, lost 20# in 4 months, still more to go. Spare tire deflating slowly, my wt loss has slowed down but sticking with it. I have a difficult time understanding why my family Dr. took a blaming attitude with the wt and finally the dx of type 2 DM. From what I am able to understand, the diabetes causes the wt gain not the other way around. Am I even close to beginning to understand this process?
