Hi all.
I am 38 year old female that was Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in 2003 along with Thyroid issues and PCOS.
I and my doctor believes that the symptoms of PCOS is pretty much the cause of my unexpected weight gain, early onset of Diabetes and thyroid issues.
To make a long story short, when I was diagnosed the Doctor put me on the Atkins Nutritional Approach in 2003 and I lost 100 pounds and got off all medications except for thyroid meds. I kept that weight off until 2008 when I was involved in a near fatal car accident and I gained a lot of weight back during the rehab time. Then I had depression and a woe is me attitude until recently.
I had gotten my A1C down to 4.7% and just recently it is creeping back up to 5.9% and fasting blood sugars in the high 130's.
Doctor prescribed me Byetta and I am on my third dose (2nd day) and I had a fasting blood sugar of 99 this morning.
I am hoping that the Byetta, along with my low carb way of eating will get this weight off of me again and everything return back to normal.
I also got diagnosed with hypertension and my PCOS symptoms are out of control. On top of this, my Vitamin D is extremely low.
I am reaching out to a support system this time around because family doesn't quite understand or care to understand how I feel.
Thanks for reading!!
