Thanks to the advice on the forum I am finally losing weight. Juggling a lot of other conditions and balancing a shedload of medications has always made it difficult to lose the spare tyre I developed after I started taking Insulin 14 years ago.
Down from 117kg to 113.4kg in 3 weeks. No timescale, just limiting myself to approx 100g carbs everyday, which has allowed me to almost halve my insulin with far better BG numbers, and no more than 2000 calories which will be dropped once I drop to 100kg to 1800 calories
Also upped my activity levels, can't run or cycle anymore due to Arthritis, but I am forcing myself to walk 5km on any day my arthritis allows.
Aiming to get to 95kg/BMI 29.9 atm, then will attempt to get down to 75-80kg (BMI 23.6/24.9).
