Hi everyone. I am sure l read somewhere that one of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes is weight loss. Is this true? Started diet proper today but last five days l have tried two 600’s and three 800’s days and lost 7lbs.

Wow half a stone down before you’ve even started – congratulations 🙂

You’re right that sudden unexplained weight loss can be a diagnostic factor for type II diabetes – because of the lack on insulin (or lack of a response to insulin) your body isn’t able to take the glucose from your blood to use as energy, so instead it switch to burning your fat and muscle stores instead.

Thank you
