I am confused about 1 thing. You are a Type 2 Diabetic. This should be fairly easy to manage with meds, diet, and exercise. As you lose weight, the symptoms improve and at a certain point, you should be able to manage without the meds solely via diet and training.
I am not a Dr, but my wife is predisposed to Diabetes (had Gestational Diabetes when pregnant 16 years ago) and was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. She also has a Thyroid disease (Hashimoto's) which makes managing the symptoms and weight loss even more difficult. That said, she is off meds (has been for a couple of years), manages via diet and exercise and for the most part is symptom free.
I guess I am curious as to what affect the Type 2 Diabetes has on anything....other than meal frequency and macros.
Would you be willing to expound on this?
