Hi, I'm Sue, I'm 46 and have had type 2 since 2005. Ashamed to say I'm currently in denial, but have turned a corner and determined to do something about it! A bit of background; I have PCOS, it took me 10 years to fall pregnant. During the pregnancy I got gestational diabetes and was on insulin from 20 weeks but stopped immediately after my daughter was born very early due to pre-eclampsia (diabetes contributed). Sadly I lost my daughter when she was 4 weeks old. I was diabetes free until I fell pregnant again in 2005 and actually realised I was pregnant due to high blood sugars! I miscarried that baby at 12 weeks, needed insulin for a few weeks afterwards then was left with type 2. I have been prescribed Metformin but I have never taken it properly. Today is the day when I start afresh and get this under control once and for all....
