Hey, I've been gone for a while, but like a bad penny I always turn up
I'm not doing brilliantly. I got moved on to a full insulin regime, but with very little advice or guidance from the hospital. So I've been bumbling along for a while. I've been on one diet or another for 7 months with zero weight loss, in fact, after the last three months on LCHF I've managed to gain about 5kg. I'm at my wits end. My care team don't seem to be bothered about weight loss (I am because at this point I'm 120kg) they want me to get better glucose control using just insulin. For me personally, weight loss is one of the most important things on my to-do list, and at my weight I'm insulin resistant and the more insulin I use, the more weight I gain. For the first time in my life I've been suffering from anxiety and it's all connected to the feeling of failing at Diabetes. I'm doing loads of exercise, I'm fitter than I've ever been in my life... but I can get the insulin-food thing balances. I wasn't sure where to turn, and then remembered this forum.
So, I'm back... I'm starting from the beginning... wherever the beginning is.
