[QUOTE="annepgill, post: 446229, member: 55016"] Hi all I see a lot of arguments between all regarding t1 and t2 lifestyle choices being the blame for T2 all I can add being T2 myself is up until two and a half years ago I was perfectly healthy, normal weight exercised and life was sweet, then I was in a hit and run car crash the seatbelt almost cut through my throat bruising ect from then I started to feel ill this went on for a few months then my mum very suddenly passed away and I became very ill exactly 6 months after the crash my doctors said my thyroid levels were too high meantime I ended up in bed for weeks at a time I felt like I was dying in fact I prayed every day and night to sleep and not wake up. I kept telling the doctors this and about massive and very fast weight gain even though I would barely eat I was ignored for over a year then another doctor did various blood tests spirometry tests ect and I received a letter, I had type 2 diabetes,hypothyroidism,and asthma apparently the hypothyroidism caused the diabetes and asthma and now even though we are two and a half years down the line I'm still not on the proper medication for hypothyroidism and still pray most nights not to wake in the morning.My point is diabetes is a sneaky horrible disease no matter what type it is and should never be stereotyped, My brother is type 1 and my Mother was type 2 both slim and ate healthy I too hate when I see the news this morning ect and some **** claims oh it's lazy greedy fat people and their choices that caused it they are costing the nhs millions it sickens me as guess what I don't fit that category and neither do thousands of other T2s anyway just thought I would share and rant over stay healthy everyone xx Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
