Hi Lucy: Congratulations on all your good efforts! There is one problem, however and it isn’t small. On such a low carb diet, you are very likely to face a ketoacidosis crisis so buy those keto strips too and check. The body requires carbs and if you don’t get them (10 is too low), the body starts burning fats only for energy instead of carbs and that’s where the ketone problem enters the picture so be careful. Running a little ketones, o.k., but high is dangerous. Also cholestrol may rise too high. As the weight drops off and you keep exercising, its possible that the type 2 thing may just go away. With a little more carbs, you might need pills just for a little while until you lose a little more weight. But please, see a doctor! You would still be in charge. Jan
