[QUOTE="TooManyCrisps, post: 1496213, member: 244689"] I know exactly what you mean. I was diagnosed 18 months ago and the only person I've told is my husband. People do judge. I was overweight at diagnosis (12 stone 10 lbs) and now weigh just over 10 stone. Only 2 of my friends are overweight, the rest are really slim and sporty. I agree with the poster who said that probably some people have a predisposition to T2. My dad is T2 as was his mother. He hasn't addressed it and as a result is on loads of insulin and has lots of complications. He had a massive heart attack 15 years ago and has been disabled ever since. I am determined not to be like my dad so have lost weight, got my HBA1C down from 97 to 37 (no meds) and intend to stay as healthy as possible for my kids. You have done brilliantly at losing weight and being healthy. Keep up the good work. [/QUOTE]
