[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1443210, member: 365308"] Hi. I think if you are getting used to a new diagnosis then I might avoid the stress of changing your diet too much and as has been previously mentioned you may simply be getting back to normal weight if you'd lost weight due to undiagnosed type 1 diabetes. Insulin causes weight gain if your body hasn't had much in a while. Stress can stop you losing weight anyway! After that I would look for progress not perfection in improving your diet/stress/sleep habits that might be hampering weight loss - I bet you already know what to do but maybe have trouble doing it consistently? If you don't know where to start then this forum is more low carb oriented and as a diabetic PT I am a fan of that personally! That said there are people who do well on low fat/higher carb but what most effective diets (those that produce sustained loss of fat) have in common is an avoidance of sugar and processed foods. 'Don't do anything you can't stick to for life' is a good guideline since it gets you out of the diet mentality of hopping from on and off whatever diet wagon you are on. Think about what works for you and implement it consistently and try and track results in terms of how good you feel (hunger, energy levels, reaction to certain foods) and circumference measurements (or how certain clothes fit) since the scale can be a terrible indicator of fat loss.
