what an amazing story, and well done, your determination is showing. I am type 2 diabetes on metformin. Initially my gp let me control my diabetes
with food, and then that wasn't working and as a result having had emotional life situations, I was referred for wight loss surgery but had to prove to the hospital that I could have 12 month free of an addiction.. In that 12 month period I proved to my self and the hospital and now I am on the medical track for 6 months and then maybe I can have the surgery I am okay with that. My stubbornness and sheer determination has helped
lose weight easier for the first time in my life.
