[QUOTE="shop, post: 280745, member: 42992"] Thats what happened in my case. I weighed about 8 stone st diagnosis. My weight crept up as my insulin went up. I lost the weight prior to doing the carb counting course by portion control and stopped snacking also reduced red wine ( only had 1 bottle a week anyway ) I would probably say do the course 1st as I had to learn quickly to reduce basal and bolus as previous doses were based on my size 16. I consequently was having hypos!!! I am now a happy size 12 and still learning ( self taught through the BDEC course ) However since starting that I have been offered a version through my hospital and will be attending several appointments. They will break it down for me and ensure that I am competent at each stage. ( I have been told I am already 1/2 way there ) It is complex at times but well worth the time and effort. I am determined to get it cracked despite the wobbles. Good luck and I hope you find this helpful, Lucy...xxx :) [/QUOTE]
