[QUOTE="Lucyhunt, post: 1722875, member: 457036"] Hi. My name is Lucy and I’m 19 years old, soon to be 20. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and PCOS in November of last year (2017). I am very new to the whole shabbang and if I’m honest... I’m very scared. I aspired to join the RAF and have been informed due to my newly developed condition I shall no longer be able to apply, even if I were to get it under control or reverse it. In short... my hopes and dreams and all I have worked for have been shattered. I have always suffered with weight and was in the process of gaining control of it when I was diagnosed (after to numerous efforts and attempts to lose weight, with no luck and further investigation on my mine and my doctors part). I was informed that this was mainly attributed to my excess weight combined with the contraceptive I was on, being the implant, which hindered my periods for 2 years. This in turn caused me to develop PCOS, furthering the difficulty with weight loss, thus the increase in weight and insulin resistance, finalising my diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. I have since had my implant removed and begun taking 500mg of metformin 4 times a day. I guess I’m just looking for some guidance really on any methods to lose weight effectively, any diet plans people suggest. Just some comfort and reassurance really that I can turn this around even though this as all new to me. I’m an anxious individual as it is, and all of these new health developments (plus the recent passing of my grandmother and various other personal issues), are all stressing me out a lot. Just looking for some help and guidance really and this seemed the most suitable place to seek it. Thank you [/QUOTE]
