[QUOTE="elsalisa, post: 2393414, member: 407119"] Thank you so much for your reply! Diabetic team was concerned when Lisa was 45 kilos a year ago. But now she’s 60 and they probably try to ignore it. [emoji23] Diabetic specialist in diets only repeats she must consume 200 carbs a day. 200 carbs! [emoji33] She did a lot of sports before she was diagnosed in 2017 (she was 9 year old). A year before that she had a minor hand surgery, was told not to do sports for about a month and that’s when she began gaining weight. And couldn’t control it even when she began swimming and cycling again. It was strange and then she was diagnosed... maybe it’s psychological, I don’t know, she gradually rejected sport after that and started losing weight - after she was diagnosed and given insulin, not before, as type 1 diabetics usually do! This pump probably ruined everything or maybe Lisa thought that she can now eat anything freely and started hiding sweets. She goes to school - I can’t control her there. Plus stress - she sees other girls, they all slim, and she’s in despair she’s different (even though she’s not bullied). I tell her about my friends with type 1 - all of them are into sports. Nah, now way. Dad invites her for a walk (we live near forest) - no, thank you. Only one thing made her interested recently - I found Conquerors community where you can get a real (and quite beautiful) medal for walking “to Mount Fuji” or any other place of your choice (virtually of course [emoji16]). She even got her first medal and she was serious about that but on holidays she had a minor surgery again - ingrown toenail. Grrr... now we have to do the same with another toenail. God help me. [emoji24][emoji28] As to meals - I try to cook healthy food, bought several books with recipes for diabetics but she didn’t like anything. [/QUOTE]
