I was the same Lisa, didn't get GD either. And my mother also has diabetes. Although my mother has type 1 diabetes.

For me I am able to control my weight somewhat with exercise and diet, although I haven't seen a size 12 since 1996 but hey I plan to get there one day! I don't think I could do the lapband surgery...I am a bit afraid of that type of thing...

Goodluck with it all, you girls are inspirational!
