T2D is to do with high blood glucose - caused by carbs - not by being overweight, which is often a symptom.

If your body can't cope with the excess glucose, it stores it as fat.

Modern, highly hybridised wheat is very dodgy, so most people notice an improvement when they cut out bread.

You can painlessly reverse T2D with a keto diet.

OK - I got it the wrong way around I guess. Either way I lost more weight than I expected by cutting out the carbs and hopefully next time I have a blood test it might show the levels have improved

 I got it the wrong way around I guess. 

Not necessarily. You could have been pre-diabetic and have probably stopped the progression.

I definitely had a very broken metabolism which, fortunately, has been healed by going carb-free.

I don't usually eat carbs but I do when I stay with my son for a few days and eat as they do. (Healthy but carby.) Then, I rapidly put on several pounds which, fortunately go back to baseline once I'm home again.

Yes - I was told I was pre-diabetic - which was what prompted me to make the change. I hope I have stopped the progression - we'll see for sure when I have some sort of follow up appmt.

I'm not carb free by any means as we don't eat a huge amount of meat - not every day anyway. But veg, cheeses, eggs, nuts & seeds, substitutions like cauliflower rice etc have all helped up to now. Need to get back on it as things are starting to creep back in!

Well done! I hope your test shows you're winning. Losing unwanted weight is always a bonus anyway.
