[QUOTE="RhonaB, post: 2020835, member: 499430"] I discovered I'd lost weight after spending a day hiking up a pair of trousers ... usually just wear pull-ups! Monitored it for a good few weeks and continued to drop lbs slowly. Sadly (and the reason I didn't notice the loss) the weight seemed to fall off my legs while my body stayed in much the same flabby fat state as before! Anyway, no other symptoms so was dreading the worst when I mentioned it to the nurse after my cervical smear test in January. She ordered the whole gamut of blood tests including tumour markers. Happily all was well apart from BG 29.6, Hb1AC 145! After some panic and yet more blood tests the consultant has decided it's Type 2 although my insulin production is a bit below "normal" apparently. Still need to lose another stone or so, but actually quite hopeful now!!! :-) [/QUOTE]
