Hi all! It's a long time since last I was around, to be honest I got heartily fed up of eating healthily and monitoring my bg. I'd had pretty good control at the time, but made the fatal mistake of looking long term. I should've known better. I tried for many years to stop smoking and only succeeded when I stopped looking ahead and worrying about going years without a ciggie, and started going one day at a time. Guess it's the same with diabetes. Looking at facing years of eating "healthy" food depressed me no end. I'm convinced I was put on this earth to eat my way through every type of bread, bun and bap. Preferably slarted in as much Lurpak as it's physically possible to apply. Cauliflower rice, courgetti, pizza bases made from everything BUT dough, the list of alternate but not the same was endless.
Anyhoo, my bg has been heading the wrong way for the last twelve months and my GP has referred me to the local hospital with a view to going on insulin. My main concern is the possibility of piling on weight. I'm not exactly at risk of being mistaken for someone with an eating disorder- I'm more likely to be confused with the side of a house - but I don't want to be getting any bigger! What am I likely to be looking at treatment wise? And what's folks experiences of going on insulin? Did your weight go up or down? Thanks for reading.
