In remission from Type 2
I've suffered from psoriasis since I was a child and read today that recent research has found that this can increase your risk of developing Type 2 by a whopping 64%. It appears that the type of inflammation associated with psoriasis promotes insulin resistance, and there are genetic similarities between the two. So, with my mother developing Type 2 in her 60s I was always at risk (as my sister has been told she is) and it now appears I already was anyway.

If only I'd known......
