I read your profile, and i feel what you are saying. I have a neg family history too, but I felt invincible, until about 47ish, fist heart attack, diabetes,copd the works. I think you are so smart, with your plan, in hindsight i should done the same as you. I don't know if this will help you any, but judging by your profile picture, I think you are absolutely beautiful. Those eyes, well enough of that. "Warning" once diabetes gets a hold of you (in my case i was diabetic for years before going to the doctor) loosing weight becomes almost impossible. I have lost a total fifty five pounds, took several years, and I have never worked harder , and had to constantly re-motivate myself. I do not wish this on anyone, follow what your body is telling you, you are too young and too beautiful, most of all, you will be an uplifting inspiration, to your children. Tfish1
