My step daughters were overweight, had skin and hair problems, one also had period problems. The dermatologist, gynaec and pediatrician missed the actual cause. I took them to a dietician who identified the problem right away! She showed me the tell tale signs like the dark ring on the neck, apple shaped body etc. I see kids with the problems and just cant help telling even the strangers so that they don't have to suffer for years like my daughters did!

I was never overweight until after my 2nd child was born. I have "dirty" spots on my knuckles, knees, and elbows. I suffer from extreme fatigue. Diet with no weight loss and also I have been an endocrine patient (for my thyroid) since the age of nine. Could I have insulin resistance or another problem for which I also have the symptoms-non classic congenital adrenal Hyper-plasia (or hypo I can't remember which one it was that I read).

I'm a 37 year old mom with severe insulin resistance my doctors cannot seem to control it. If anyone has any advice I'd be so grateful I'm of normal weight due to low GI diet but I am not on any meds at the moment as they made me ill.
