[QUOTE="bellabella, post: 626449, member: 117614"] I totally feel your pain. After being diagnosed 2.5 months ago now, I too experienced a not so gradual increase in weight. Suddenly all clothes were to tight, and I had two layers of new flubber in my tummy area. For me it was a combination of the insulin, the amount of high carb foods I was eating ( experienced an unvelievable amount of hunger when first started treatment ), and also the lack of exercise I was doing due to general exhaustion from the preceding months of hyperglycaemia and infections!! Since then, I have started going low carb, and while I haven't yet noticed huuuge reductions in weight, I definitely feel less belly bloat, more satiety, and have more energy for going for walks in the evening. I'm hoping the results on the scales will ensue as I really want to fit into my old clothes. I'm not sure from your post how long you've been diagnosed? It sounds like it's early days, and I would say to you that, although it feels really disheartening, try not to let it define how you feel about yourself. Be good to yourself, this whole diabetes thing is a lot to take on board, and you need to give yourself plenty of time to adjust. Once that's happened, It'll ve easier to focus on sorting out the weight etc. I'm only over 2 months into this, but am already in a much better place mentally than I was in the initial weeks. Time makes everything easier Best wishes [/QUOTE]
