Was really shocked today to find out that Claire at work has been diagnosed with diabetes. Shocked because I thought it was something that older people got - she's only 32.
The main culprit seems to have been her weight that has always been more than it should have been. (Hence the nickname Blubber!). She's taking it in her stride, but it makes you think. It's a vicious circle because it makes her feel tired and then not want to exercise, but the doctor's told her she has to lose weight and go for another blood test in a few weeks.
We've decided to help her while she's at work by not stuffing our faces with cream cakes, chocs and fizzy drinks and swapping these for fruit and herbal teas!
