[QUOTE="Japes, post: 2107756, member: 277410"] Welcome to the forums. Did you lose weight before being diagnosed? You well might find some of it goes back on again now you're on insulin. My weight is pretty steady again now, but I put on a stone very rapidly in the first 10 days or so. I was utterly frustrated by the first few weeks of wanting to be able to carb count, but tied to a fixed dose of fast acting with meals, but I did get it was worth bringing my levels down slowly and carefully. I'm not a great sports playing or gym-going kind of exerciser, but I do love walking and I've just looked back at my records to see I was back at my usual levels of walking within a week of being on insulin. Though it took longer than that to work out how things other than food affected me - I'm still learning that one, 16 months later, and expect it to be a life long learning!! [/QUOTE]
