Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for some advise. I have been a type 1 diabetic for just over a year now and since being diagnosed I have gained around a stone and a half. I am overweight and desperately need to shift a few pounds. Since being diagnosed I have only seen my diabetic nurse twice and my consultant once which was almost a year ago now since I've seen either, It's a nightmare trying to get an appointment at my clinic, I'm awaiting a letter to attend the carb counting course. But right now I just feel like I need some help and guidance as I'm really struggling. What diets would you recommend? I've heard about slimming world, is there any of you that have a success story? I am looking to lose around 5 stone which feels impossible at the moment. I'm sorry for rambling on but I feel like I have no management at the moment! Thank you
