I've put on too much weight in the last two years - having our first child and expecting our 2nd has an adverse effect on my waistline.
Recently I tested borderline for pre-diabetes: 6.1 on a test where 6.0 is under diabetes and >6.9 is diabetes.
I don't want a pill for diabetes. An appetite suppresser for the first months of having the baby would be nice. It's damage limitation.
The cure, however, is to get back to doing weights at the gym. That more effective than drugs at cutting snacking, plus I'm have systemic cardio (45mins cycling at a good speed every day).
- magic_beans 11y agoWell, breast-feeding is natures perfect post-childbirth weight loss tool...
- radicalbyte 11y agoSadly it doesn't work for me :) It's quite common for men to put on weight when their wife is pregnant (mine constantly snacking, sending me out to buy maltesers, ben and jerrys etc..).
- kaybe 11y agoIf it's during pregnancy, isn't it gestational diabetes, which apparently is not quite type 2 diabetis? (I just recently learned this is a thing, which is scary.) EDIT: Oh, wait, you're not the pregnant one. Then I'm wrong, sorry.
- raverbashing 11y agoYes you are right, gestational diabetes is 'something else'
