SCARED TO DEATH
A FEW WEEKS AGO I ASKED MY 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS DOCTOR WHAT WOULD HER CHANCES OF HAVEING PCOS AND INSUIN RESITANCE BE AND HE SAID I DONT KNOW LETS RUN SOME LABS AND WE WILL CHECK. ALL HER HORMON LEVELS WHERE GOOD AND HE HAD HE INSULIN CHECKED AND IT WAS 33 AND IS SUPPOSED TO BE UNDER 17. SO SHE HAS THE INSULIN RESITANCE. THAN MY COUSIN ASKED ME THE SIGNS IF THE INSULIN RESTANCE AND HER SON SHOWED SOME OF THEM AND THE SAME DR ORDERED A INSULIN TEST ON HIM. HIS WAS 27 SO HE NOW HAS THIS PROB TO. THE DRS OFFICE CALLED ME AND ASKED IF I WANTED MY 9 YEAR OLD SONS INSULIN CHECKED JUST TO MAKE SURE AND I SAID YES. I GOT HIS RESULTS YESTERDAY AND HE HAS IT TO HIS INSULIN LEVEL IS 33.
i AM REALLY SCARED BECAUSE I HAVE THE INSULIN RESTANCE AND THE PCOS AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED MY WEIGHT GAIN AND ALL MY PROBLEMS TO BEGAN WITH. I AM SACED TO DEATH BECAUSE I DONT WANT MY KIDS LIVING THE LIFE AS AN OVERWEIGHT PERSON. THE 11 YEAR OLD WEIGHS 98LBS AND MY 9 YEAR OLD WEIGHS 102 LBS, MY COUSIONS SON UST TURNED 12 AND HE WEIGHS 169 LBS. THE GOOD THING IS THE DR HAS CAUGHT ALL THREE KIDS AT A YOUNG AGE I WAS 23 BEFOR MINE WAS DIAGNOSED.

I'm so sorry to hear this. It is scary but you can do this. I have 2 insulin type I diabetics. They were both diagnosed at 11 years old and their blood sugars at that time were over 500 and over 800. Very sick little ones at that time. My son is now 30 and uses an insulin pump as well as my daughter who is now 27 and 8 months pregnant. Neither one of them ever had a weight problem before 11 and still don't. At least they are making so many advances in medicine now. Take care!

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!
Coming from an obesed family. I can say this from my heart. I trully wished my parents would have given me a better way of eatting instead of all the carbs etc.
I took charge when my nieces and nephews were little and would not give them the sugary and fattening foods that other kids ate. My 22 yr ole nephew eats healthy he doesnt grab junk like his 20 yr old sister does and does not have a weight problem.AS she does..I think that at the age your kids are instead of being scared take control...Throw out the junk teach them healthy eatting and how to read labels.what you are giving them is a life time of good eatting..they may hate you for awhile but in time they will see that you loved them

being healthy has its rewards....take the challenge and just do it
I concur with the other posters in that they are still young enough for you to help teach them healthy eating habits by your example. You will be the BIGGEST influence on what sort of eating habits they form, and with you making healthy choices so that YOU are healthier you all three will be living a healthy, happy, and active life!

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers that you all three come through this for the better and healthier.
