Fabulous news . . . I was able to get off my insulin and my metformin also and it was life changing (made my mind be in a different place) - Of course, I've had diabetes longer than you've been alive - so congrats on getting on this early in your life

I wish I was able to do this when I was younger before I went all the way up to 349. I have to say you will feel so much better about yourself more so every day. Good luck on the the continued weightloss.

If you're on metformin for insulin resistence and aldactone for hormones by an endocronologist then you likely have PCOS. People are born with PCOS and insulin resistence is something that almost everyone has with it...

I do have pcos. along with those two i'm also on a birth controll aswell. i was diagnosed a year and a half ago. But i was diagnosed with insulin resistance when i was 7 years old.. and had been showing symptoms since i was 3 years old. not entirely sure what came first... it's kind of the "what came first? chicken or the egg?" thing.

but i hadn't heard someone could be born with pcos before. though it makes sense.

Well as far as I know it's a genetic thing but it doesn't come about until puberty.

I definatley will. That's seriously a huge part in the motivation towards exersize right now.. (not one of my stronger points... i hate exersize.. doesn't everyone?) but as long as i'm under 18, at 18mo post op, and staying at/around my goal weight.. i get it free. I can guarantee you my face when the doctors told me that was absolutely priceless.

thanks so much. I will. (;
