Thanks Bizi...you're a doll! I am going to call and book the ultasound tomorrow. I wonder if tremendous stress is a factor. I posted a long post in Thusdays roll call about it. I am starting the new pills tomorrow. I have never been on the SouthBeach diet but i DID DO Atlins once. I find it hard to get into but after a few days I was OK. However I was very strict on it and had those keytone strips....I had myself in a state of keytosis fr long perids of time and would begin to feel dizzy...then I would go off the diet for a bit and then go at it again...eventually I was diagnosed with t2 diabetes? I do not know if the diet haed an impact on it or not??? Have a good night Bizi!! thank for being there!
