Hiya. Im Claire, 26 and am Type 1. I am currently under the best control that I have had in a few years, have lost almost 2 stone in weight, and my latest Hba1c had come down to 6.4, so overall I am very happy with how things are going.
I look forward to chatting with you all and hopefully gaining some good tips and advice.

Hi Claire

Congrats on your fab results!!!! :D

Now, how did you do it?!

I've been struggling to lose weight for ages and have become really despondent about it ever happening....all the hospital tell me is that insulin doesn't make you gain weight!

Any advice? :D

I joined weight watchers in Feb, and i was told to expect maybe half pound losses each week cos of the insulin i was on etc, but my usual weekly loss is around 3.5lbs so that proved them wrong..Ha!

Also lots of exercise, I aim to do around 40mins every day, hard going with a 4yr old son, but it works for me, Although i do struggle with lots of hypos so doing lots of experimenting with my insulin levels etc.

Good luck x
