[QUOTE="lizdeluz, post: 1000813, member: 32108"] Hello and welcome back. Glad things have settled down for you since the appropriate diagnosis. It sounds like it might be early days to start worrying too much about your weight at the moment, but, as you imply, being overweight can make diabetes more difficult to control. Once on insulin for my Type 1, (I was diagnosed at age 29) I did put on weight, but very gradually, and I kind of put it down to getting older. Then I realised I was 3 stones heavier than my teenage weight and decided this was too much! I'm back down to half a stone heavier than my teenage weight and it has taken me about 20 months. I eat very well, but have radically reduced my carb intake, following advice on the low-carb thread of this forum which you might like to look at. I agree with the article cited above that we can't blame insulin for weight-gain. From my own experience, though, I would say that diet is critical. [/QUOTE]
