[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2214186, member: 365308"] Glad you finally got an answer and are moving forward. All I wanted to say is Yes, once you have insulin on board you will gain some fat back slowly as its an anabolic hormone. Having higher sugars means you're pee ing out a lot of glucose rather than using it for energy or storing excess as fat. Since all the high fat snacks don't jack up any insulin you have they won't help you gain weight but at least you've been eating fantastically healthily all this time! You could in theory hit the biscuits and the pasta provided you dose for it but if you'd like to remain on smaller doses it might be a good idea not to exhaust your beta cells. I know type 1 must feel like a curve ball you didn't need after your break up and with your medical anxieties, but I think that it is true that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! You will be setting a fab example to your daughter and can still enjoy the occasional doughnut together. I hope you are making a big list of q & a and will be begging for an FSL to save finger pricking at least....good luck. [/QUOTE]
