[QUOTE="MushyPeaBrain, post: 272403, member: 27914"] I can relate totally to your distress having suffered from body issues leading to diabulimia in the past. I too have retinopathy issues, although mine were triggered by tightening my control too quickly followed by 2 nhs blunders :roll: I gained weight quickly went I was put on Levemir while on MDI. Turned out I am allergic to it but the weight gain almost killed me and put incredible strain on my relationship. I gained 3 stone and I hated myself. Although it is very hard not to beat yourself up for the gain try to remember all the reasons you wanted to stop the diabulimia. You want to live as long as possible and be as healthy as possible for your child and partner. Have you changed insulin lately? Any new medications? How old are you? I have to work harder at keeping my weight stable now I've hit my 30s. I also used to have high amounts of carbs but, whilst I don't low carb, I have reduced the amount of them and feel much better for it. What is your typical diet in a day? Sorry for all the questions but the answers will help us all try and figure this out for you :) Also are you just running for exercise? If so try mixing up what you do. I found doing light weights helped hugely with my weight loss and I highly recommend Davina DVDs to anyone wanting to lose weight healthily. Now I'm older I do have to exercise 3 times a week and mix what I do up a bit more though. I would def get yourself checked for thyroid and some of the other things that are more common in diabetics just to be safe too. [/QUOTE]
