  • I found out last week also that I may have gestational diabetes. I am an army wife in Germany and the Germans seem to go OTT on everything. I had the glucose tolerance test and my one and two hour tests after the sugary drink were fine but the midwife was concerned about my fasting test. It was 97 and they wanted it below…

  • Hi. I also have PCOS. Diagnosed around 7 years ago. I was put on metformin and lost around a stone in the first 6 months. Being an army wife tho, we move around a lot and I have no continuity with doctors so I have been on and off metformin over the years and have seen my weight yo yo. You have probably all been told that…
