I can give you proof of that. I'm having good control but still ended up in the cardiac unit yesterday. More inflammation or an immune attack, we're unsure as yet. More investigation is going to be done.

Their control could be excellent, but have suffered another trauma etc.
I was premature too. My mum and dad were heavy smokers. I was early and had no facial hair. As a 3mth old baby I had pneumonia too, then thrush complaints at 6yr old. Constant coughs and chest infections inbetween. Always had a sore throat, I remember. Stained teeth from too many antibiotics as a child.I was wondering if there was a connection to diabetes and underweight babies, I was one too at 3lb, 4oz.
I am glad your son's health is good, one weight off your mind.I was premature too. My mum and dad were heavy smokers. I was early and had no facial hair.

If my kids had that bad environment they would be ill a lot too. Son got discharged from out-patients as only mild vit d deficiency. Everything else came back excellent, very pleased with his health considering all my health problems.
Yes I see a lot of us have had appendicitis and anti-depressants, and infections as childrenI wasnt premature or underweight at birth. But my mother took thalidomide in her first 4 months of carrying me. I had many illnesses, including pneumonia, glandular fever and burst appendix with peritonitis - all before I was 20 years old.
I sometimes wonder if there is an immune disease trigger for some conditions like diabetes.
However, I was slender until I was 35 and went on Paroxetene for 7 years and gained a lot of weight, even though I wasnt overeating or under-exercising. Since coming off it I havent gained any more weight, but havent lost more than 16lbs either.

Another lady had written she was a sickly child and had appendicitis too, and I am the same, and yrs of antidepressants, so I assume there are other people too.have they? I thought I was the only one!!!
I had burst appendix too. Something in it all. Have you had bell's palsy?I wasnt premature or underweight at birth. But my mother took thalidomide in her first 4 months of carrying me.

My mum took anti-deoressants whilst she was pregnant with me. I've never taken them but I've been referred for a bit support so I'm not sure what will be suggested.Another lady had written she was a sickly child and had appendicitis too, and I am the same, and yrs of antidepressants, so I assume there are other people too.

So you discovered you suffered with gestational diabetes first then type 2?No I havent. However, I realised this morning that I has raised sugar levels in my urine towards the end of my last pregnancy, when I was 34, but although the midwife mentioned it several times, nothing was suggested to be done about it, and I was told i would be fine once my baby was born. She used a dipstick in my urine to test.
I had 8 miscarriages (including a still birth) during my time trying for a family. All unexplained. My son was healthy and is a strapping 6' man now.
So you discovered you suffered with gestational diabetes first then type 2?
I think they are telling gestational diabetes sufferers now that they are at risk of type 2.
I know insulin resistance is a chicken and the egg conundrum. Maybe insulin resistance CAN start in the womb? Then for us we've had a stress on the immune system with illness which has escalated to type 2? Not sure we'll ever really know.
I work on today's status but on occasion look back for inspiration!
We'll never know now but I'd probably conclude it could have been too high. Did they not do a sugar tolerance test, in pregnancy? I know standard testing now.would the sugar in my urine indicate gestational diabetes? I am new to all this.
My daughter, who is 35 and slim and runs marathons, has just been diagnosed as pre-diabetic : ((((((
so its going down another generation. Thank goodness I have been able to point her to this site straight away. My brothers and father still trust the doctors advice, despite my results : ((((
no sugar tolerance test. Off the google it, I have never heard of this one.We'll never know now but I'd probably conclude it could have been too high. Did they not do a sugar tolerance test, in pregnancy? I know standard testing now.
I had re-occuring protein which I think use to be the old mind set for sugar. I was on heavy insulin doses in pregnancy. But I was type 2 before pregnancies. I didn't fall pregnant,, even with ivf help til I took metformin for a steady uninterupted time. For both pregnancies to happen
No Luckily not the Bell's PalsyI had burst appendix too. Something in it all. Have you had bell's palsy?
