[QUOTE="Emmotha, post: 704334, member: 118431"] Hello, I've struggled with weight all my life, and totally get why you are thinking about this. However, it is not worth it, believe me. I was on the DAFNE course with a girl who tried it and she ended up in hospital with DKA after 4 days. As mentioned above, try the low carb route. I did, it works! I am losing weight, my blood sugars have been great (apart from over the last week where my insulin wasn't actually working... My sugars were hight and I felt awful). With low carb ur sugars are way easier to control, u will look and feel a million times healthier too. What's the point in looking thinner if ur skin goes all dry, ur hair falls out, u get spots and u look and feel awful? Sorry to put it like that, but it's true. I know how u r feeling and want to let u know that u can lose weight and be healthier by going low carb :) Please give it a try before doing anything drastic, you can always get a lot of support and advice on the forum [/QUOTE]
