Firstly, my daughter was born by c-section and now at 2 years old, she has not developed diabetes. And she was tested when she was born. Secondly she breast fed very well, il only managed 4 weeks, as i developed infections in both breasts. But she wasn't a problem. i think it comes down to each...

Hey, no i don't have statins, so that isn't the cause. I cut out salt becuase i hate the taste, if i taste any on my food i end up being sick, so can't really add salt to my diet. As with the low BP, i don't know how to raise that. I've always had low BP, even when i was pregnant and in labour i...

thanks SarahQ, yes im very glad i didnt manage it. as i said it was a bad chapter in my life, i was 15 and we all know at that age everything seems a lot worse then what it actually is. i realised afterwards that i did it for all the things that didnt matter, and thankfully it made my...

This is completely true, 4 years ago i tried ending my life by overdosing on insulin, i am a type 1 diabetic, and ended up putting myself in a coma. if it wasnt for the fast action of my mum and the hospital stuff, i wouldnt be here today. it was a bad chapter in my life, and thankfully its over...
