[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 459542, member: 19121"] Hi Patch and welcome [U][B]back[/B][/U] to the forum, really sorry to hear that things arent too good at the moment and hope you get things sorted out after you start insulin treatment. Your trigs do sound very high to me but as for how they got that way or why insulin helps to reduce them I have no idea really but the good news on the weight gain front is that insulin doesnt have to lead to weight gain.... I'm sure you remember my story and how I lost over 4 stones whilst on insulin, I kept my carbs to between 60g and around 80g a day as I remember and binned all alcohol for about the first 4 or 5 months too and I only ate what I needed to ie I thought of food as fuel rather than an enjoyable feast, so I tented to eat only small portions of everything and I was very strict with my diet when I was on insulin and found it gave me excellent control and the weight loss I needed to reduce my insulin resistance which now allows me to eat a fairly normal diet in most respects. OK I still eat no white bread, pasta and only small amounts of basmatti rice and potatoes mainly either new, roast or a few chips but I eat pretty much everything else if I want to. Try to be positive about the insulin, watch what you eat and stay away from every new fad diet that pops up on the forum, I remember you always liked a new fad diet mate ;) But most of all get yourself well...
