I was diagnosed 3 years ago and was weighing in at around 26st (it's a guesstimate as the scales at the doctors didn't go that high!). I was put on metforim and gliclozide. In my first year I lost half my body weight (down to 13st) and came off all medication. I even got my cholesterol and blood pressure to normal levels. At this point I was unhappy with the way I looked and decided to join a local gym and I've never looked back since.
