[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 999586, member: 21149"] Hi. Can I assume you are on the Basal/Bolus insulin regime i.e. two insulins? You need to set yourself a sensibly low-carb diet to avoid weight gain with insulin; may be less than 150gm/day? Low-GI carbs are always best to minimise spikes. These include wholegrain flour-based products, beans/legumes etc. You adjust the Bolus insulin at each meal to match the carbs for that meal. The Basal should be adjusted over the first few weeks to provide a balanced background to match the liver's natural glycogen output. If you increase the proteins and fats you should find your weight goes upwards and once on insulin the body can start to use the blood glucose it was previously unable to do. [/QUOTE]
