Hi
I am a 26 year old Type 1 diabetic who has had the condition for 23 years. Recently, Ive been trying to lose a little bit of weight, just to tone up a little. Im not overweight as such, at 12 stone 8 lbs, but I have a classic beer gut and love handles.
So, over the past month, I have given up beer totally(and am doing till March 1st), and eat healthily virtually all week( probably with the exception of Friday nights when I allow myself a treat with a takeaway, Chinese/ Indian etc)> Im also going to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. However, despite all of this, I dont seem to be losing weight, and my "beer belly" and love handles havent moved an inch.
Is this down to eating habits/and or insulin? I have read elsewhere that insulin stops you losing weight, and am wondering if there are others on this board who have succesfully lost weight through execrcise/healthy eating, and if you could offer any tips.
Cheers
Ian
