Hi All, as the title states, I'm type 1 and have been for 15 years now. I really need to lose some weight but was wondering if there are any diets you would recommend? I've tried Slimming World which worked to a certain extent but just got about bored with it and lost motivation. My HBA1c has gone up to 8.1 and I know I need to shift some pounds.

Thanks for feedback in advance

Hello @Bezzaboy1978 the best way to shift the weight is to get active, so get into a regular way of exercising and keeping a close eye of your bg levels and of course what you are eating, I don't think weight loss classes help long term, but taking up a regular form of activity that you can sustain as well as enjoy will both help you feel better and lose weight.
