[QUOTE="JMoli, post: 2300974, member: 518411"] Hi there, it’s so tricky isn’t it (diabetes) - are you still in the honeymoon period so you think? I can’t help with weight loss I’m afraid as I’m still struggling to keep weight on which gets me down too. Do you have a dietician to speak to? I kept bugging my diabetic nurse, leaving garbled messages about bolus and digestion haha. Eventually they assigned a dietician - I think they had forgotten I didn’t have one (due to Covid lockdown timing) but it’s been the best thing that’s happened. He/she can advise you and check your Libre readings (if you have one) to see what’s happening. I stuff my face with avocado, nuts, seeds, peanut butter, cheese, low carb chocolate mousse and cake and still can’t keep my weight up, currently eating 35g carb breakfast, 50g lunch and 30g dinner (struggle with late high bs then) but have a high metabolism although wish I didn’t so I could low carb. I did find lower carb made me lose weight (I didn’t want it to!), maybe that’s something to discuss with your nurse? Good luck, hope you get things worked out and definitely push to speak to a dietician [/QUOTE]
