[QUOTE="Ali H, post: 283455, member: 29998"] You know, I hold a lot of truck with the stress theory too. I have always been overweight despite always exercising tons, doing lots of sport at school, club tennis and badminton as an adult, walking, swimming etc etc. But I don't drink, have never smoked and always tried to eat healthily with very few takeaways, no fizzy drinks etc. Then my partner had a breakdown and was diagnosed with depression and left - just as I had quit my job to take care of my parents who live with us. So as you can imagine, very stressful time. Shortly after I lost 2 1/2 stone virtually overnight although I was eating normally and all the symptoms started. I don't know family history as adopted, but my adopted parents both have type 2 so thankfully I have a long standing knowledge of the condition given I care for them both! So like you, I have always wondered why me. They are now thinking I have slow onset type 1, LADA, Type 1.5 whatever and this week I hope to get some final answers and some darn meds that work as the oral stuff doesn't and I am fed up feeling so unwell. Incidentally OH did come back, got CBT treatment and is much much better which was a great relief as my career is as an independent financial adviser and I really did not want to have to get re-authorised and put my parents into care homes!
