Ferrante, if you are morbidly orbese, why haven't you seen a doctor about that and perhaps arranged a glucose tolerance test? As I understand the research work, Type 2 diabetes in its early stages can cause hunger and weight gain. It's later, as it progresses, that it causes weight loss and thirst and a lot of the more obvious symptoms. The first stages of treating Type 2 diabetes are things you may wish to do anyway, namely a healthy diet, and exercise. I've met several new diabetics this last year, including one at my workplace who thinks that eating Atkins labeled candy bars and fasting is the way to treat his diabetes. He's lost weight, which is helping him, but I'm concerned about his nutrition.

Two FBG(fasting blood glucose) readings 126+ is diabetes, 100>FBG<126 is prediabetes. Craving sugar in large amounts like that is another sign. Luckily, once you stabilize your BG, you may find it easier to lose weight. http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/Newly%20Diagnosed.htm Time to make an app't with your doctor ASAP before you do any more damage to your body. Diabetes doesn't happen overnight, the progression begins years before. -- No Husband Has Ever Been Shot While Doing The Dishes _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account
Mark - I have just recently been diagnosed with diabetes. Normal blood sugar readings should be 60 to 120. I was told that for me to be in control I should be 80 to 140. I am on a low carb diet and my blood sugar levels have been averaging about 110. I think you should see a doctor about your levels.
