Hi,
I was diagnosed with diabetes in August 2009 when I was about to drop into a diabetic coma. I Am type 1 diabetic now & have to take multiple injections a day. I was 14 at the time I was taken into hospital and became very ill ever since. When I was first diagnosed I took my insulin and checked my blood sugar religiously. I then when through the phase of eating and drinking as much sugar contained food and drink as i could took no insulin for it which in turn caused me to loose so much weight i went down to just above 6 stone. I looked awful so I got my blood sugar under control and started eating healthy and my portions were not too big and i maintained a healthy weight of 8 stone 7 lbs. Last week i was took into hospital for 4 day due to my insulin forming lumps and not going in, when i was admitted i was 8 stone 9 lbs, yesterday i went back to my diabetic clinic and was weighed at 10 stone 9.4 lbs i was truly shocked at how much weight i had put on in a week it was unreal.
I would like some advice on how to loose weight and eat healthier.
On a average day i tend to have
2 small wholemeal toast in the morning
Lunch i have a salad - no carbs usually as im in college and there is no place to inject!
Tea is usually where some to most of my carbs come from.
In between i usually have a small salad or a oat & fruit bar to keep me going.
Thanks.
