Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know, I developed gestational diabetes during ,my pregnancies and a few years later full blown Type 2. At the time I was told it was irreversible and it would shorten my life by 10 years. I was at high risk of  amputation, stroke and blindness. Since my diagnosis I have lost 3 stone with another stone to go to give me a normal BMI of 25. I am referred to as a triple meds patient and although I take 3 types of medication a day the all important HBA1C test is still too high at 54. I've signed up to Swim 22 to see if just 3 months of swimming will put my T2 into remission and reduce my levels to below 47. I would be very grateful if you could spare a few pounds to support my personal journey but more importantly help fund research into this devastating disease. The big swim starts officially on 22 Feb (although I've begun my training) and will involve me swimming  c. 2 miles per week for 11 weeks, the equivalent of the English Channel. Check back in on 22 May to see how I've done. Thank you for your support xx
