[QUOTE="HLW, post: 158168, member: 10252"] Yes, it's called type 2 diabetes surely? Hence the metformin I assume? You can have both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Yes insulin causes weight gain, and yes losing weight should help (no idea how/why, but that's what the drs and nurses said when they thought I had type 2 diabetes). Atkins (which is no carb rather than low carb) is very dangerous with type 1 diabetes due to the risk of DKA (so says the nurse Ive seen since been diagnosed with type 1 at least), but ask if you can see a dietician, they will help you work out what is suitable to eat. Just make sure you find one that doesn't tell you to stuff your face with bread and rice, you can tell which ones they are, they are usually overwieght! [/QUOTE]
