[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 620045, member: 8110"] I'm married to a lifelong T1 and know from being with him that losing weight whilst using insulin is HARD. Do you have a regime where you can alter your doses? If so you might try reducing your carbs and reducing insulin to match.It worked a bit for my husband. His insulin went down to about half what he was using before and there's been some loss. Now unfortunately his kidneys are failing and that affects how insulin behaves in the body. Nevertheless, he's losing VERY SLOWLY by reducing his total food intake. You say you're exercising, which will keep you fit, but it's unlikely to take much weight off unless you do hours a day every day. It should prevent gaining however. Try less food, particularly carbs and less insulin. Getting hypos won't help,[because of how you correct them] so keep your BGs even. Hana [/QUOTE]
