[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 907038, member: 17713"] She is getting better.. Thank you for asking. Most noticeable is the fact thst she isn't taking photos of food all the time. Will always be a struggle for her... She actually first moaned about belly fat...!! But I've never been able to use belly. I have a good bmi and now using gym with great toning effects for muscles.... So I just can't see the point of adding fat to my body just for the sake of it... I think as well because of the exercise from gardening and now the gym but trying to eat just natural whole home made foods etc because of intolerance to so much yhat it is hard to intentionally find food to eat extra to pile weight on intentionally. It is getting relatively easy now to maintain weight to the foods that I can eat so I would rather choose the easier option of keeping as I am rather than being pushed to eat to put weight on to go back to the pump if you see what I mean.. Its not wanting to necessarily keep lean.. Just that I need to keep to good, natural foods with flax n chia seed to keep my stomach working... A strange balancing act but the pump just added in more probs when I can now use 4mm injections (8mm when I stopped 5 years ago)... And thanks to good diabetic and gastro consultant and DSN I have maintained my colon working. Consultant also told me this week that my reduction in pain has caused my insulin needs to reduce so much as well... I didn't even realise that pain could be so significant to insulin needs. My basal since coming off pump has reduced from 17 to between 11-13 units daily..I couldn't fathom out why... But its all linked in to the pain from artificial sweeteners and preservatives... Reduction in pain, reduction in basal!!! Complicated.. Happy enough at moment keeping my life to "simple" I guess!!! [/QUOTE]
