When I was your age I was about 2st underweight according to the charts, but perfectly healthy 🙂 What sort of BP machine did they use? At my surgery if the electronic one doesn't give a sensible reading the GP uses the manual type 🙂

I was underweight before I got diagnosed. Since I've been on insulin though I've always been a healthy weight, well excluding the pregnancy ha! . Last year I was at my heaviest and my clothes didn't fit me anymore, but I am talking about no more than an extra 8lbs or so, not major. I started running Nov 2015 and since then I am a good weight and I feel great most of the time.

I'm sure in a few months you will have put on little and be feeling better.

Yeah apart from D I am perfectly healthy my grandads side of the family are all tallish and skinny so it's in my genes, well apart from my grandad who now has a bit more of a tummy but he is 84 and I suspect it has something to do with the amount of chocolate bars he has stocked under his table for bedtime reading and the tons of biscuits stored in the cupboard haha, it was the electronic one quite a new one as well after the 2nd attempt she reassured me with I can assure you you are alive I'm sitting thinking well I didn't doubt that lol just checked my last one on my records and let me go after the 3rd attempt see new technology just ain't the best is it 🙂 x
