Will my diabetes belly ever go away?

[dinatine]

I am 30, diagnosed with PCOS and type 2 diabetes at 27. I'm 5 foot 4 and 14 stone. Most of my weight is in my stomach. To be honest, my legs are very slim as is my arms. I just have this horrible apron stomach.

Anyways I've been fasting daily and eating one meal a day. The weight is dropping off, everywhere but my stomach that is!

I've recently started couch to 5k and have researched and started doing some weight lifting.

I'm just terrified that I'm going to put in all this effort and the weight will continue dropping off my body and be left with this massive stomach.

Also worried about loose skin being left, should I be?

Has anyone managed to get this off?

I'm thirty, single (one child) and honestly, I haven't had sex in two years due to this stomach of mine, I really need a good shag if I'm quite honest 😂 and can no longer let this hold me back.

So if I continue with the fasting and do jogging and strength training, will this shift my belly or am I going to always have this apron overhang?

If so, what do I do? As I feel it's really dictating my sex life.

you can become in remission with type 2
not cure, or reverse.

OP f you want to seriously reverse your diabetes speak to your doctor and choose a calorie deficient diet/ 800 cals a day, do your research it isnt easy but the diabetes can go into remission and no need for any drugs

good luck

See what I am saying OP? Plenty of armchair experts who just know you can not have diabetes (however you want to term it) and all you need to do is not be fat. Like I said, find what works for you and don’t do yourself any long term damage in the interim with some silly quick fix or whatever the fad is at the moment - there’s been plenty of them over the past 10 years yet somehow people still suffer from type 2. If they really worked there wouldn’t be so many of us would there! I did one of these fads (despite never being over 1st overweight) and now have permanent kidney damage and need a transplant.

You need to start on metformin. 1500mg a day. Insulin resistance means fat is stored in the belly area.
