[QUOTE="Fishtoo, post: 683740, member: 141750"] Good question Kat! I really am only going by the fact that My Mum had me, her first child, weighing 10.5 llb at birth, and my first child weighed the same ( both natural births!! )She would not have had her BS tested during pregnancy, but mine were OK, as least the urine was ( not the same thing! )...she had a stroke in early 70s ( family clotting factors) and lost weight++ in residential care, living till 84... was never diagnosed as diabetic.. I was a child of the war and limited to 2oz of sweets per week wwith rationing for years..as was my sister...she limited her"dolly mix" to just a few per day, but I couldn't resist eating all mine as soon as I got them! so by the age of 8 I was already addicted...very different personalities...I'm a sanguine and happy basically, she is a perfectionist....takes a long time to chew each mouthful..whereas I, if I don't concentrate, eat mindlessly! So I actually see most T2s as being a weight problem rather than a carb/sugar consumption problem! Neither are easily curable on a long term basis for most of us!!! Plenty of wonderful weight losses on ANY restricted diet, but long term maintanence of that weight loss is very difficult for most....and plenty of statistics to back that up scientifically. And now I would love to know more about you Kat? What is your avatar photo?my guess is a cat? How long have you been diagnosed.? We emigrated to NZ in 1972....so I love communicating with those in UK...visit my sister once every 2-3 years as she does not like long flights... [/QUOTE]
