[QUOTE="shop, post: 289952, member: 42992"] Hi SG, When I was diagnosed with T1 I had lost weight and some muscle and was showind signs of keytones. The Hospital consultant explained what diabetes was. It all fell in to place. What happens is that because there is a lack of insulin to transport the glucose to cells in the body it just gets stored in your liver ( mine was slightly swollen ) and because cells arn't getting the glucose your body firstly uses fat for energy, then muscle, then it produces toxins ( keytones. ) Because your body is unable to use its fuel (glucose.) So that is why one can have muscle loss with uncontrolled high sugars. Hope this helps. Lucy. [/QUOTE]
