I find all this talk of clothing sizes interesting. When diagnosed I’d lost a shed load of weight and looked horrific. Had to buy clothes just so I had something to wear to work. I did drop weight in each of my 5 pregnancies-lots! due to severe hyperemesis. But I quickly put it back on with extra. After starting on insulin I put some weight back on, but not the nearly 1 stone I lost. 5 years on I am still in the size 10/12 I started wearing after diagnosis.
