I'm sorry you are wrong, i became diabetic in my early teens. Wasn't diagnosed for years. Before I gained weight, It started to attack my Reproductive system, and for last ten years my body rarely made any estrogen. Because of the lack of estrogen, my metabolism stopped working hard. My adrenaline glands were even weakened.

I was diagnosed Type Two diabetic three years ago, and been on sugar pills since, wasn't until Last spring when MY obgyn put me on strong estrogen, I started losing weight naturally.

i lost over 60 pounds in less than 6 months, and for years before I took the estrogen, I had been walking 3-4 extra miles a nite, during the work week.

You are misinformed and uneducated bout diabetes and how people are individually, and UNIQUELY affected!

Plus there are other types of diabetes, where there's extreme weight loss, and low sugar. Mine will cause my organs, glands and senses to die slowly in my later years. Others could die instantly.

Since I started the estrogen, and losing weight, my diabetes is better controlled and for the first time in TEN YEARS I have no muscle fatigue, and I am working out and still losing weight. My joints no longer hurt, because of the lack of estrogen in my bones!

No, I am not wrong.

Do a google search on diabetes and causes and you'll see that every MD out there makes the same statements I made.

Sorry for your condition. But there are millions of people out there who consume vast quantities of sugar and never develop diabetes.
