I guess the OP didnt really mention that he was working out a lot, just that he was doing this crazy diet. My mistake. I was working out like a beast, so thats what happened to me. I got ripped, but also got diabetes. And cause I was a fatty before too, but the working out really did my pancreas in.

Sorry that happened to you, man! That sucks! I wouldn't wish that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on my worst enemies. :-\
I have a buddy that blew out his pancreas. He was working two jobs, excersing for hours at the gym , and would only down water during the day. Durng the night he would be out of energy so he would down a bunch of candy bars and go to bed.
This was in college, and I was his roommate. He came home one night and I was watching a movie with the girlfriend. He crashed right away on his bed, and 10 minutes later his body was shaking uncontrollably and he was unresponsive. He was into severe hypoglycemic shock.
Called 911 and the police came before the paramedics. The police officer thought he was OD'ing on something so promptly started inspecting our dorm room. Found our fridge full of beer and my roommate and I were underage. My GF was over 21 so she claimed they were hers. She saved ---my bottom--- big time.
The paramedics came and the police officer ordered them not to treat my roommate until he finished inspecting the area for drugs. The paramedics called that in and the officer was soon ordered to leave over his radio. The officer never did though, but the paramedics were able to go in and treat my roommate and take him to the hospital. According to the hospital, he was minutes from a coma, and less than a half hour from death.
A week later my roommate put in a complaint. With the paramedics call-in backing up the story. The police officer was suspended immediately.

Holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- that is crazy!!! Man. Freaking cops. :angry: Thank you though, I appreciate your concern . Yeah, I guess it runs in my family, my moms side is mexican, so a lot of them have it apparently. The only one I remember was my aunt, I remember she had to inject insulin and take litmus tests when I was a kid.
Thats unbelievable about your friend though, thank god nothing bad happened to him. Well, aside from getting the betes lol. I wasnt as bad as that, but I worked out too much, I was eating well though, but they said that I most likely got it when I was fatter, it being hereditary, and then me working out WAY too much. Sucks, but its my own fault.
Also kudos to having an older gf at the time that saved your ass! :notworthy:
Vigo:
Yeah, it was my buddies fault, he did it to himself. But hindsight is 20/20. It took him forever to control his diet. In and out of the hospital for a couple years. He finally learned to eat right though.
I'm glad it wasn't as bad for you. Still, it sucks that you have to worry about it.
Mikezilla:
Very true. Glad he finally got his ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- straight though.
Thats the trouble with type 2, its hard to regulate. Luckily I got my stuff under control. But youre right, it totally sucks. I wasnt even into sweet stuff too much before I was a full blown diabetic. Now that I know I cant have that kinda stuff, I want it. :-\

+1. People who categorize weight loss attempts as "diets" are doomed to fail. Eventually you will go off the diet and gain it all back. That's a fact. You need to look at it as a compete lifestyle change - forever - not just for 3 months to get thin and then eat like crazy.
Find a combination of foods that work for you. Don't deprive yourself of anything - just eat less junk (not no junk) and eat healthier. Drink lots of water. Eat lots of chicken and salads. Reduce the starches (one scoop of rice instead of an entire box or a few pieces of bread instead of the entire loaf). Eat smaller portions. Chew more and eat slower (you get full faster and on less food). Get up early a few times a week and go jogging before work. This is all very easy to do without any sort of deprivation.
Once you get going you will feel great and it is very easy to maintain.
