[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1757576, member: 185674"] Starving your body from glucose if not taking the needed bolus to keep bg below e.g. 10 mmol/L for your main meals and thereby incurring ketosis is definitely not a recommendable way to loose weight. Ketoacidosis is the ultimate endpoint of this with both very severe complications, coma or death as potential end result. As written above, diet and exercise, potentially one of the low-carb approaches would be the thing for you to try? But as type1 you always need to take required basal and then whatever needed bolus to keep your bg in control. The consequences of being overweight are less than the potential consequences of a ketoacidosis episode due to too high bg and no insulin in your system. Don't play Russian roulette with your health. Btw, times are really changing! I have been member of a diabetes science forum for 20+ years. And never have we had one single type1 reported being overweight. Ever. Personally I even struggle to keep my weight up. I need to force myself to eat more and its like nothing sticks on me no matter what I engage in. A high activity level and luck with the genetics to have a high level of metabolism means a lot I think. But we are all different and not all get the same chance in the lottery of life. [/QUOTE]
