[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2330608, member: 21149"] HI. You say you have put on a lot of weight since your episode? That implies you are having too many carbs. Despite some on this forum saying T1s can have the carbs they want and match the insulin there are many like me who have to seriously control the carbs to control both the weight and my insulin needs go up exponentially if I overdo the carbs. Any medic who tells you to have carbs with every meal and match the insulin doesn't understand nutrition or diabetes and is best ignored. My GP refused to accept I was T1 and put me firmly down when I suggested I might be. My private C-Peptide tests showed I had low insulin. My lovely surgery DN has referred me to the Diabetes clinic at my request and I'm in the process of having C-Peptide and GAD done by the NHS. I await the results and would love to be able to tell the GP that she was wrong. Sadly there is a large amount of ignorance and arrogance amongst too many medics. This forum is of enormous help to many. [/QUOTE]
