Melanie V.
My name is Melanie. I have had diabetes for 23 years. Although I have Type I diabetes since I have become obese I have symptoms of Type II diabetes. when I met my husband 15 years ago I weighed 126 pounds. I was on the depo shot. I took the shot for 10 years and every year my weight increased a little more. As my weight increased my diabetes became harder to control.. I have very bad insulin resistance. I have tried so many diets and honestly none of them have worked. I just can't lose weight no matter what I do. At one point I was doing weight watchers as well as a personal trainer. I lost a little body fat but nothing significant. I currently weigh 207 pounds an am 5:3. I have high blood pressure and possibly cushings syndrome. I have not been diagnosed with it but I do have every single symptom. This is my last resort so I hope it helps.
