On atkins for 3 weeks and in deep ketosis atm. haven't menstruated for about a year, 51 and suspect i have t2 diabetes. menstruating now. normal?

You need an exam: You have to be very careful about how you diet. If you suspect you have type 2 diabetes that must be checked. Your irregular menstruation should also be checked out. I encourage you to have a full exam from a Family Doctor who can address all of these concerns.
