Hi I wonder if anyone has had similar or can give me any advice or tips or just general information from past experiences.
I’ve been diabetic since I was 15 I’m now 25 , when I was first diagnosed was brilliant at controlling my sugars and just generally fit and healthy. However as I started to grow older in my late teens I just lost complete control and practically gave up didn’t test (sometimes for weeks) I’ve had DKA once and now got background damage only slight in my eyes. I’ve started to take back control after many years of giving up . I now have the libra and it’s amazing i have gone from testing once a week or less to 8+ times a day , however my question is I’m worried about weight gain I have started gaining weight and nothing to over but slightly over normal BMI for my age and height am just wondering if this is something that settles down once my hba1c reduces ?
I eat a varied balanced diet . I do drink alcohol occasionally over the week and go for diet mixers . But for what I eat during the day it doesn’t really make me think I should be gaining I say I have put on around 6 pounds since controlling my diabetes.
Thanks
