[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1642678, member: 196960"] I had childhood symptoms. Thrush, everynight was the worst. Overweight, sweating and alot of my early years a big blur memories wise. At 14 i did my own version of milkshakes and lost 7st and hammered my very important exams. 9 exams and 4 the highest rated. 2 further typing and word processing exams hammered too. Accuracy was spot on i later got told. Added weight 2yrs later and have fought weight gain thereafter. 40+yrs of diabetes only 15yrs of diagnosis. I trained in Greenwich Park, London with my professional footballer husband and took slimming aids for decades, pre ivf. Metformin for pcos saved me. I'm on insulin now thou as ive exhausted all meds. Currently reducing insulin units and losing weight. I'm now weighing less than when i was diagnosed in 2002. My consultant is superb and told me i'm very very insulin resistant. He offered bariatric surgery 3yrs ago but ive only just decided to agree due to walking difficulties which stop me exercising properly, like ive done for decades. Humf! I will get my mojo back soon. Well done for walking your jourrney so admirally. I admire you. Well done. I think an unsung hero. It could have turned out so much worse eh? [/QUOTE]
