Hi Bob
You're going in the right direction. Taking problems / issues one by one - the cyst on your bottom may well be a result of running higher blood glucose levels until diagnosis, so once it's removed (almost certainly under local anaesthetic at your GP's surgery) and blood glucose levels are under control, it is not likely to reoccur. Heartburn certainly does feel like heart pain, but again, it's controllable with tablets / liquid medication (ask GP and / or pharmacist for advice), slight diet modification and perhaps not eating immediately before lying down to sleep. You're already doing well with your weight management - keep doing something fun and active. If you want some slightly unusual suggestions, just ask - you'll be amazed what people who post on these boards do - the Excercise section isn't just for ultra athletes!
