Hi all
Has anyone had trouble putting weight on from diagnosis etc? I'm struggling to put weight back on since I came out of hospital 11 months ago. In fact I think I'm starting to loose weight. My bloods are generally ok with some hypers throughout the week/s.(I'm still honeymooning) I'm on very little insulin at the mo. 2 units lantus at night and 1 unit with 30-40g of carbs.
I've been told by my dietician to eat more protein between meals for calories but I'm not sure this is working? I've totally cut out chocolate and refined sugers so perhaps this is why? Or should I be eating more carbs?
Thanks
Louise
