I first had gestational diabetes. Then a few years later I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes. I tried to keep it under control with diet for several more years, but ultimately was not successful, and I am taking insulin now. I find it very hard to avoid sweets, and I don't like exercise. I have also suffered from depression for most of my life, although only diagnosed about 17 years ago. I find it hard to keep on a diet or exercise because the symptoms of diabetes are not immediately evident.
