So I was just diagnosed with diabetes. We think it's type 2, but are waiting for lab work to confirm. The onset was so fast and unexpected that it could be either type.
I'd like to say it correlates with reaching my goal weight, but I'm actually not that heavy at all. My diet was never good, but it certainly wasn't terrible either. And I was on a pretty strict liver-healthy diet for a few weeks that cut out all sugar before the diagnosis.
Anyways, im taking this very seriously but im not terribly well-informed on diabetes. Does having a higher weight increase risk of symptoms/complications? Is there a high-calorie diet that's safe? Does anyone here have experience with this?
