[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2152786, member: 503481"] Hello, despite good hba1c, has your endo looked at your readings in depth and suggested something else? I know there are some type 1s who use metformin and insulin to help with insulin resistance if you are running high or take far too much insulin to manage yourself. There are some who use victoza to manage their weight & diabetes. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone on this forum who does so I won’t be able to tag them. Or a change in insulins, there’s different ones out there suited to your needs. Take outs and shakes doesn’t seem to help, it could be you are not eating enough of something to satisfy your hunger - you and I know exercise helps with insulin resistance. But also a change of diet - whether it is low carb or keto may help but under the circumstances you know how to adjust your insulin and count carbs. So you might need to ask for more help from your endo, possibly a dietitian. Have you read much about Dr Bernstein - Diabetes codes? In terms of addiction to food, is it eating but won’t stop eating? Or not stopping when you feel full? Have you considered seeing a therapist to help with your relationship with food? I know once you’ve tackle your weight, reduce insulin requirements and shift weight, you’ll feel better but what about your relationship with food? [/QUOTE]
