[QUOTE="cassie091, post: 1399654, member: 35025"] It sounds to me as though you are taking very high doses of insulin which must mean that you are eating lots of calories and carbs otherwise you would be having hypos. You should talk to your diabetes specialists about a weight loss diet. If you have a sedentary lifestyle you need far fewer calories than someone who is rushing about all day. I agree with the person who says you cannot compare your weight when you had untreated diabetes to what it is now but you can take control of it by eating the right foods in the right amounts. If you eat more calories than your body requires it stands to reason that you will put on weight. My diet is low in carbs. I eat a lot of veg, such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower. I limit root vegetables and peas and broad beans that are high in sugar. Same for pulses. I don't eat large amounts of meat or cheese. It is matter of understanding the nutritional values of different foods. Fruit, for example contains lots of sugar. I have been on insulin for 60 years and weigh 7st 10lb. about 49 kgs. although my weight has fluctuated wildly over the years due to my eating too many carbs. Incidentally I am female. Hope you get the answer to your problem. [/QUOTE]
