[QUOTE="Rebecca.., post: 290882, member: 44047"] Hi, I have been Type 1 for 4months now and i am really struggling with my weight. I have always been a size 8/10 and around 9 stone, when i first got diagnosed i lost over a stone so i knew once i started using Insulin i would put that weight back on and hopefully get back to my normal weight. However, over the past few months the weight has kept creeping up. I have been low carbing for about 2 months now, i usually have no more than 60g of carbs a day. I also have a fitness app on my iphone so i can keep track of my calorie intake and always have under 1200 calories a day. I eat pretty much the same thing most days, special k for breakfast, salad for dinner, salad for tea, snacks are cereal bar, low fat yoghurt or fruit. I also exercise at least 5 times a week for at least 40minutes a day. However, none of this seems to help me control my weight. In the last 4 weeks i have gone from 9stone 8 to a huge 10st 3! This is the heaviest i have ever been, i have never eaten so healthily and exercised so much in my life so i can not understand why i am still putting on weight? I am seeing a dietician again today but she is usually not much help. Its really getting my down, i feel frightened to death to eat anymore carbs and most days go to bed hungry, i have developed a really negative feeling towards injecting my insulin (although i always do my injections when i need to, as i know what complications it can cause if i don't) because i am postitive its the insulin thats making me gain so much weight. :thumbdown: Sorry for the long post, i would really appreciate your thoughts and advice on this? Thanks x :wave: [/QUOTE]
