[QUOTE="Flakey Bake, post: 856779, member: 71327"] Yep yep yep check and check. I agree and can empathize with everything you have said. I was diagnosed as polycystic ovary syndrome at aged 22 (hormone imbalances but no ovarian cysts) and over the years I have played around with my diet and have found higher carb leads to greater hormone imbalance, bloating, hunger, extreme fatigue, aches and pains and diminished general wellbeing. I have no doubt that I have suffered with insulin resistance for many years resulting in weight issues prior to autoimmunity type 1 developing. What a ****** mix!. I moderate carb, but I don't think it is enough. I keep gearing myself up to go low carb, but balancing that with family meals is proving a challenge. Some work to do I think. To answer your second question as to whether I was relieved it wasn't my fault anymore". I went for 2 years assuming type 2 only, my own fault, I was disgusted with myself. Disgust is such a strong word, but appropriate to how I felt at the time. The rational side of me knows better, and gets intensely annoyed with people who label me fat, lazy, weak-willed etc and absolutely bloody furious about the way type 2 are societies "new lepers" in the press, but at the same time some of their nastiness seeps through the armour. So at times, I do blame myself. At times I feel slightly crazy with the swings in emotions regarding diabetes. Anyway, I am going to go and watch the youtube video you posted because I think it will be motivational. Thank you Uart for all your support xxx [/QUOTE]
