[QUOTE="ert, post: 2113538, member: 504712"] The insulin, when you eventually need it, will make you feel so much better, your weight won't be the main issue. I was BMI 19 at my lowest and have bounced to BMI of 22.9 since taking insulin. Even though I'm larger than I've ever been, I'm healthier with it and my main concern at present is keeping my blood sugars stable and in the normal range and having loads of energy to exercise. Before insulin, I used to find losing weight easy, but I certainly am being careful not to gain any more, the scales are not moving down with my usual intermittent fasting, LCHF and large amounts of exercise like they would have once. I've never had to count calories, but I think if I seriously wanted a BMI under 22 again, I'd have to work with a dietitian. I'm on a DAFNE course and they're all complaining that insulin has had the side effect of putting on weight, but it also saves your life. [/QUOTE]
