[QUOTE="Larissima, post: 994428, member: 160311"] Hm, a lot of people found out as they were losing weight, and with me it was completely the opposite! I went to see my GP to ask for counselling or other help with my weight, as I could not stop eating (carby food) and was literally bursting out of my (already stretchy) clothes. Bloods were taken, and a few days later my GP went "Has anybody ever told you that you have diabetes? Well, you do now. I'm not giving you any medication, it will be fine - just lose weight". Grrr! Talk about a circular argument! Well, I spent a couple of months alternating between anger and shock, then a locum GP referred me to a dietician and a diabetes course, I came back to this forum, read a few good books, and managed to reverse the trend with both my BG and weight.
