Hi!
I'm 23 and was diagnosed with type 1 a couple of months ago. The diabetic nurses and consultants that I have seen have all mentioned that it's not unusual to put on weight as a result of the insulin.
Has anyone else experienced weight gain/loss as a result of their insulin? I know it sounds very vain to worry about this considering all the other complications that diabetes brings but I've always been slightly obsessive about my weight and am panicked at the bought of piling on the pounds :/
Thank you! Xxx
