Bad blogger

I have been so bad at keeping my blog up to date. In my defense though, my life just seemed to pick up speed at a rapid rate and is only now starting to slow down again.

Where were we? Oh yes, my appointment on 8th Feb 2010 (1 year wedding anniversary). Well it was discovered I have insulin resistance so been on a healthy diet since then.
My sister keeps asking me how I manage coz she would really miss junk food and chocolates. Coming from a reformed chocoholic, it aint easy but it is possible. I think what makes it easier is that I have to as apposed to want to.

A girl I know at church also suffering from PCOS gave me a number for a specialist she has been seeing.
What an amazing women (the specialist), not just professionally but her mannerisms too. She really made me feel so comfortable and took a whole hour explaining everything.
The way it works is she takes photo's of your eyes and through that she tells you whats not functioning properly in your body. The first thing she asked was if there is diabetes in my family. There is on my dad's side but not anybody I know so must be far down the line. I didnt even have to tell her anything coz she picked this all up in my photo's.
The PCOS is inactive so the main issue is the insulin and I have to cut out sugar, milk, yeast/ wheat and red meat. Sounds a little hectic but we had already started the healthy route so its not that bad. The best news is that I had a natural AF :)

So, this is where I am at the moment. Will update as soon as I have new info
