Very interesting to read this. I have a friend who has been very overweight for decades, although very fit also, who finds losing weight nearly impossible but isn't even prediabetic.

Thank you. That makes sense.

Isn't the menopause the gift that just keeps on giving . I agree about keto....I also lost weight plus my joint pains improved. I am low carb now though, as I found strict keto just too, well, strict. I still eat keto bread and pasta though.

Hi everyone! I will answer a few of the questions and introduce myself I am in my 60s and live in Hampshire in the UK. My pronouns are she/her. I have 3 wonderful children, whom I should thank for gestational diabetes, a wonderful husband and two felines, who are obviously more important than...
