It might help some people understand more about why they find it difficult to loose weight.

Thanks for that Catherine. A very interesting article that just reinforces how much we don't know about diabetes and the complex mechanisms that make our bodies work.

Thanks Catherine, a very intersting article and is me to a T!!

Each time I get weighed at the hospital on their super scales I show no weight loss yet my fat stores have increased and my lean muscle has decreased!!

I try to keep muscle mass up,in my job I need it but the fat round the middle just seems impossible to move even though I am losing weight.so where is it going from,it must be muscle.

Great. So not only is it harder for us to lose the fat, it's also harder for us to build up muscle mass.

Being diabetic f*****' sucks.

Please don't swear Patch.

Don't give up trying ,Patch.I use hand weights and it's amazing how much you can build just by doing half an hour a day on them.Every little helps.

I can only Ditto what Patch posted....and the entire sentiment behind it.

No one said it was easy. But the challenge to prove them all wrong now,that is something else!
