[QUOTE="soularc, post: 600494, member: 120596"] Hi My name is Nicola (most people call me Nikki or Nix). I’m 43. Health wise I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome & High Blood Pressure. I also suffer intermittently from Depression. This morning I was told that I have Type 2 Diabetes. My HbA1c says 57. I knew diabetes would eventually give me a hug as it’s on both sides of my family (mum has a pen while dad is diet/meds controlled) & because of my weight. Am so very fed up of dieting to loose weight as no matter what I do, it’s not going anywhere. In the last 2 years, I’ve put on almost 3 stone – so my depression is pretty much in my face at the mo. I’ve got one child – he has Aspergers Syndrome and is pretty much my world. We moved to our current home in 2009. My partner moved in with us in 2010 and we’ve not looked back since. My partner’s a chef so has promised to help tailor my diet to better suit my health condition (not that he wasn’t doing that anyway). Due to my health problems, my work decided I’d be better off at home and so I’m a retired civil servant – which is okay by me as it means I can look after my son better. Has to be said, since that happened, my stress levels have dropped right off. I’m a bit of a tech head – not so much building computers but I love playing on them. Current gaming interests are World of Warcraft & Diablo 3. My son plays with me (when he’s not messing around with his lego). I try to walk the dogs daily, ones a huskey & the other’s a golden lab, so its often more them taking me out than the other way around. Our house is a home, it’s totally crazy here and we love it. Going to shut up for now before I really start to babble. Is nice to meet you all. Blessed be. [/QUOTE]
