Hi, not to sure how to reply on these threads, see my name has just been posted and not my reply, so trying again
. I read with interest your letters about being thin, I have the same problem! Before I was told I was type 2 in 2012 I was happy with my size of 12-14 , I looked healthy felt healthy and looked younger than my years, then I cut out carbs and all sugar and rapidly lost weight, I ended up being a size 8 and I felt and looked terrible and at my age then 58 going on 59 my face took the blunt of my weight loss and I gained wrinkles!! I looked gaunt and very unhealthy and people told me how ill I looked!!! Although I was able to lower my sugar levels, my weight loss has been more of a struggle to deal with than my diabetes! Today I am a size 10 but my face is still skinny and wrinkly and I now look 10 years older!!! So I feel for all of you who feel "skinny" and cannot eat carbs to gain weight, it is a struggle!!!
But as my son tells me... be grateful at least we God Willing, won't suffer from all the dreaded side effects of diabetes!!
