[QUOTE="megan, post: 2300703, member: 6160"] I am 47, had type 1 for 30 years. I am insulin resistant and brittle diabetes. I'm on the pump, libre and metformin. I've tried alsorts if ways to lose weight but just continued to gain. Started slim pod this year, the 16:8 IF. Now finally I'm losing some weight. Almost a stone at the moment but strangely my body measurements have remained the same! Yes I drink plenty of water. I've done low carb no carb so many times over the years. But still have to take similar amount of insulin for a green salad as a sandwich!! For years my team had no explanation on this then last year they said ketogenesus where my body gives me the missing sugars so of course low to no carbs won't work on me ! Frustrating as this is something I've heard a lot over the years The things that I do know for sure is that due to M.E., and the hyper vigilant function being permanently switched on, my body reacts with a stress response to so many things. A noise makes me jump I've to organise my banking Pay a bill Do a chore Go to the shops Etc etc In goes the adrenaline and up goes my blood sugars! Then I spend ages trying to get my bloods down which can take a lot of insulin and a whole day or more [/QUOTE]
