Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Hello,
I've not been feeling well for quite some time now, and I'm trying to find out why. I'm 30 years old and while I am chubby, I do not fit into the "obese" category. I have been gaining some unexpected weight though. What I mean is, I've been feeling nauseous for at least three weeks, so I haven't been eating as much as usual. You'd think I'd be losing weight. No. I'm gaining. And all of the sudden I'm having a craving for juice all of the time. I just want something sweet.
I have an eating disorder, which makes this all very hard. I used to be extremely thin three years ago. Emaciated. Now I can't stop eating and drinking sweets.
I went to the doctor the other day, and she just looked me over and drew my blood. I called and the results are not in yet. Do you think it could be diabetes? What would be the treatment? Any help/support would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Sorry. had to throw that in there. I agree though. thyroid would be my first guess.
