Last week went for my next set of blood tests, awaiting results. My weight was down from 73kg on 19 Feb to 64 kg on 19 may. So I am very pleased. However over the last few weeks I feel really cold and chilly and having to wear lots of layers. Is this a symptom of type 2 diabetes? Thanks all.

Congratulations to you all. Baby is so sweet. Well done
