[QUOTE="TashT1, post: 2388642, member: 526953"] Hi Leigh I was diagnosed around the same time & had the same experience with weight. Despite going low carb (less than 100g a day), cutting out anything sweet & keeping insulin requirements down I’ve put all the weight I lost pre-diagnosis back on. Diet alone isn’t doing anything, increasing my step count isn’t doing anything. I’ve reduced the amount of alcohol I drink but nothings budging, my weight isn’t going up either but.... The next step has to be better exercise that increases my heart rate. I’m trying to find time to slot it in but I’m not just weary of the time it will take but also the resulting adjustments in BG management. My doctor suggested couch to 5k because it’s a gentle build up, but I hate running. He also suggested Joe Wicks or other YouTube workouts from home. I know exercise & reducing drinking will work, it has before but back then I had less kids & no diabetes. Maybe I’ll make a concerted effort once they’re back at school, but until I do I don’t think diet alone will achieve any loss. What kind of exercise do you prefer? Gyms are opening up again soon if that’s your thing, or dance/exercise classes? You could maybe start at home like I plan to & work up to more. [/QUOTE]
