It sounds like you experienced significant weight loss and were subsequently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Here are some points to consider based on my knowledge base:

- Weight Fluctuations and Diabetes: Significant weight changes can impact blood sugar levels. Dr. Holly Phillips mentioned that extreme weight fluctuations might contribute to a diabetes diagnosis.
- Diagnosis Process: Type 2 diabetes is often diagnosed when blood sugar levels are consistently high. This can be due to the body's inability to properly utilize insulin.
- Lifestyle Factors: Being overweight and sedentary are associated with the development of type 2 diabetes. However, weight loss alone doesn't always prevent the condition.
- Management: Type 2 diabetes can often be managed through diet, exercise, and medication.

For more personalized advice, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider.
