Message: <blockquote data-quote="DCUKMod" data-source="post: 2284484" data-attributes="member: 345386">I'm not a T1, nor an insulin user, however I too lived with an eating disorder for a few years, many moons ago.I can empathise, in terms of nervousness at changing things, for control - whether weight, medication, or something else.A couple of things I found helpful were food and blood glucose diaries; not so that I could obsess, but so that I could look back to find clues to what was going on - where my bloods weren't where I wanted them, to tracking my weightloss.Controversially, I weighed every day, because weight loss is not linear.  On any given day my weight can still vary by iver 1kg, so in a circumstance I am trying to lose or gain weight, weighing once a week (or whatever) doesn't tell the whole story.Those variations in weight are based on what I've eaten the day before (more carbs tend to see a bit of fluid retention, giving weight gain, or if I've had a not very hungry day, I'll appear to lose, but it likely isn't a sustained loss, when I revert to my usual hunger levels.Whilst there are some broad brush strokes about living with diabetes, of any sort, one things that is utterly patently clear to me is one approach doesn't suit all.Best of luck with it all.</blockquote>
