[QUOTE="IzB, post: 2267064, member: 524924"] Hi I’ve been a Type 1 Diabetic for almost 14 years and I’m ashamed to say only the last few months have I recently got a grip of it. Since the Uk lockdown I’ve been able to focus on good control which for me means injecting more and having more insulin but I have found my weight has gone up dramatically. What I eat on the daily isn’t anything special, I have cereal or toast for breakfast, salad for lunch and a normal portion of whatever my is for dinner that night (which is always a balance meal) and no snacks except maybe a pack of raisins or fruit. I go on 2-3hr uphill walks 3xweek, 2x15km bike rides a week and do at least 4 45min workouts at home yet I can’t shift any weight and it keeps going up. 2 months ago I was 52kg now I am 64kg. I know people say not to focus on weight but it’s really bugging me as it’s not muscle mass I’m putting on as I can see the fat and rolls on me. I don’t know what I can do more as it’s really effecting my self esteem, I’m only 19 and would like to be able to wear shorts in public without being self conscious. [/QUOTE]
