I plunged to six stone and was too tired to even carry my babies.

Cara Dillon had all symptoms of diabetes - but put it down to stress
Gave birth to her twins the year before, but could no longer pick them up
Irish singer dropped in weight and ended up weighing six stone
Shortly afterwards, in 2007, she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes

The symptoms pointed to a text-book case of diabetes: unexplained sudden weight loss, an unquenchable thirst, a craving for sugary food, and a life-sapping exhaustion that left Cara Dillon too tired to lift her baby twin boys.
Yet the Irish folk singer simply put the gradually growing list of problems down to ‘tour stress’.

Cara was 31 at the time, in 2007, and had been a healthy size eight her whole adult life, always about eight stone.

In type 2 diabetes, usually linked to obesity, the gland that produces insulin – the pancreas – stops working. Although it is not fully understood, some studies suggest that a virus or other environmental stress might trigger this.
