[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1107766, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome. Sounds like a very tricky situation. Not defending your wife, but if she is the controlling sort, having your son diagnosed will be affecting her deeply and tripping all her 'protect' issues. Any chance you can get through to her and the medical team that it is in your sons best interests if info is shared? I know that is what you are trying to do, but there is a big diff between 'I need to know' and 'I need to know to ensure OUR sons safety!' Re your own T2 Please do not fall for the 'it's my fault cos I am fat and lazy' nonsense. It is all over the media and it is hard to resist the blame pressure. However, the scientific facts of the matter are actually very clear. T2 is a condition of insulin resistance and it starts long before there are any symptoms. Some of the symptoms are lethargy, fatigue, lack of bounce, food cravings, gnawing hunger, and resulting weight gain. So 'fat and lazy' guilt trips are like blaming someone with chicken pox for getting spots. They are symptoms, not causes. Hope this helps. Rejecting the 'blame game' may even help with your dealings with your wife - you never know! :) [/QUOTE]
