Hi, at firt sorry about my grammar u am from czech rep and my english is not the best at all :D I am type 1 diabetic.
I want to ask you about one thing. I am visiting gym 3 times a week and controle my food but always when i need to take more insulin i get extra weight and it is very hard for me to get fit again. For example. My diabetes was very good on spring and i didnt need it almost but then i had really stressfull month and my diabetes get worse..a lot so i needed to take more insulin. My food was the same, my blood sugar was the same but i get extra 5kilos. Now i read that it is becouse of insulin and somewhere i read that insulin is not reason to get fat. But it depress me. Sometimes i want to give it up and stop using it to lost weight i know it is stupid so much!! But i hate this situation and always when i should inject myslef i think about that. :(
 
hi, if you want to reduce weight, your reduce the amount of carbohydrate that you eat and that reduces insulin
are you on basal bolus? this gives more adjustment

start with, miss a meal basal test and get that right
