I have been on insulin now for about 2 or 3 years, cant quite remember but in that time i have put on 4 stone...i have pcos too which contributes to having a constant weight gain but i was doing really well and slowly exercising and losing weight. I was really happy in my skin and now i am really depressed. I hate this weight gain, i dont feel like me anymore.
Two weeks ago i started a detox plan and i have cut out carbs (i advise this to all diabetics..carbs for us are evil) and basically anything bad and working out hard and my partner has lost a stone and i have lost two pounds.
I am going to see my diabetic nurse this week as i want to come off insulin or lower the dose right down and try some other type of medication that will help my sugar levels but avoid the weight gain.
My sugar levels are good tho on the insulin (mostly under 7) but the weight obviously isnt good for my organs and right now after all this hard work i just want to argggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!
The actual injecting isnt so bad...just remember to move around where you inject as you can get little bruises.
Good luck
