[QUOTE="AlanaElaine, post: 2250982, member: 195635"] Hi, I'm 27 years old and I've been a type 1 diabetic since I was 16. I started off great and was super strick with my blood sugars but unfortunately denial kicked in and I slowly lost control of it all. I have struggled with mental health on and off through the years and my biggest fear is putting on weight. I was always fat as a child and growing up, I loved my food but before I was properly diagnosed I started to lose all the weight which at the time was great. When I got diagnosed and started getting help the weight started to come back again. I managed it by trying to exercise and cut back but I have never been perfect with my diabetes. I had my first baby.. he was healthy and I had a normal delivery, I got my HbA1c down to 48 but I put on a lot of weight during and after my pregnancy. I found it so hard to lose so I hit rock bottom and I started doing a silly thing... I was using my insulin to help me lose weight. I'm missing my Lantus most of the time and some doses of fast acting. Some days I can feel my heart beating so fast and out of my chest.. I feel so horrible... I'm irritable and I'm starting to lose my hair. I'm really struggling and I know that deep down in slowly harming my body. I want to be better with my diabetes and get back on track but I'm so afraid of the weight. I need help. [/QUOTE]
