Re: Terrified about a possible diagnosis

Thank you both so much for your responses. I will definitely be watching what I eat. Im a pretty healthy eater already (mostly home cooked meals) but I will watch the carbs. And I will make an appointment with my doctor and get it checked out. Thanks so much!
