Diagnosed T2 - But 14 yrs on a Low Carb diet

[Ditto]

I developed this despite being LC [Atkins] for 14 yrs!

I find that quite shocking. Distressing too coz if that don't work what the heck is one supposed to do!?

I'm going to try the two meals a day thing as well. Congrats on getting a handle on your D. 🙂

Sadly, Ditto there are, in my view, so many potential reasons for T2 that if there are so many causes, the remedies are also likely to be varied.

When all is said and done, even where there is a cure for something (and I'm not necessarily talking T2 or diabetes generally here), there will be those for whom that "cure" won't work, or won't work as well as for others.

In my own early days of T2, I was surprised by some of my findings from self testing. It showed me, quite starkly that some foods were better for me than others, and that some things I could eat (and have acceptable blood scores) others couldn't, and vice versa. In my mind that is why whichever way a newly diagnosed person with diabetes chooses to manage their condition, a blood glucose meter is a key tool in learning about their personal condition, quickly.
