Type of diabetes
Type 2
Been type 2 for anumber of years, and always have been a man of real generous proportions. 18 months ago i reduced the carb intake, practiced good portion control, walked daily, and over 12 months lost 24lb. Everyone delighted including me, except for the expense of the new trousers.
But, over the last 4 or 5 weeks I have put back 5 of those pounds, and the gaining doesn't look like stopping.
I've changed nothing, still watching the carbs and portions, and still waliking, even longer than I was before.
I take Metformin, and use Victoza, and the weight gain is now starting to get me down ..
Suggestions anyone????
 
Try shaking up your routine, your body gets used to the same old old. In my view. Try talking to a good dietician or trainer or your diabetes nurse
 
If it was me and I was two waist sizes bigger a while ago!
I would cut down the plate size again, if you can lower the carbs again, increase the full fat instead! Maybe increase the walk more as well!

Keep your faith, that it will work, maybe you have plateaued a little!
 
the more you try to lose weight the harder it becomes i lost just under 3stone since march the 9th but i dont see the difference of feel any different as been sleeping a lot more these days with a sugar crash and yet i stopped eating sugary stuff and takeaways and been on sugar free juice and only have the odd cup of tea or coffee as with having type 2 mellitus i drink more than eat as i go for fruit and keep of the coleslaw no matter which one its is a was told as long as your eating pasta potatoes or rice and fish and chicken and other things like that it was ok by an nhs dietitian and the best thing i found to have when thirsty is sf lemonade by schweppes and sugar free juice added to it to mix it as i mix them both to taste like tango is orange and mango juice from tesco and its even better when chilled and loads of pasta salad if any of this helps hope so and all you can do is try it
always go for sugar free it helps every day in one way or another
