[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 531533, member: 102150"] "Exercise to the insulin". Well that's a new one. I guess it might work in theory for T2s. But for T1s, it's not still possible to lose weight without progressively reducing insulin. Increasing exercise, at a fixed insulin level, is just going to cause hypos, unless the person was on too little insulin to begin with. For a T1 person with good control to lose weight and maintain good control, the injected insulin needs to be stepped down. "Eat normally and burn it off" works for non diabetics and T2s but not for T1s. If you manage to exercise enough to eliminate the calorie deficit, the excess insulin will cause hypos. If you don't eliminate the calorie deficit, the excess insulin will cause you to gain weight. The only other alternative is if you run your blood sugar high - diabulimia.
