Does this look normal?

[Alex_B]

I am not trying to lose weight, I am actually trying to gain weight. My sugars are fine at 10 and under, my ketones are in normal range, I am injecting my insulin 4 times a day (Novorapid 3 times and Tresiba 1 times a day). I just want to know if this looks normal to anyone!

(Please don't report this post, I am looking for serious answers!)

@Contralto I wasn't leaning on anything. I was laying on my stomach most of the night.

My DSN doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact my bones are showing.

It’s very normal to be able to see ribs and other bones but it depends on a host of other things.

Are you rapidly losing weight or have you always been slim?

@wiflib I've not always been slim. I went from 8 stone to 7 and a half stone in a matter of days. It can't be my sugars because they are low, my ketones like I said are in normal range. I don't know what it could be.

If you’re worried then you need to go back to see a GP and make them listen.

Have you calculated your BMI to see what that says. You do have some stretch marks so have obviously been larger at some point. Here’s a link to a BMI calculator:
