[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 296404, member: 16982"] Hi, I am another one who has suffered with diabulimia and retinopathy, I also hate the dreaded insulin weight gain but basically am at the point now where it's preferable to blindness so I will inject for my food. Although I'm not on a pump I am on MDI with novorapid and lantus, and found that I lost a lot of weight a couple of years ago whilst maintaining an hba1c of 6.6 on a low carb diet. I bought my diet from a company called go lower who specialise in pre packed low carb, low cal meals it was quite expensive at around £8 per day but I lost 2 stone in four months and reduced my insulin during that time to 12 u per day of lantus only, no novorapid at all. I was also doing 1/2 hour of exercise per day, jogging or swimming. I maintained my weight loss for a year until I got pregnant and was advised not to low carb, also I did that eating for two thing so many ladies do. Now I am overweight again but that's more down to willpower than anything else. But if you want to lose weight whilst on insulin, give this diet a try, it worked for me. [/QUOTE]
