[QUOTE="-Artemis-, post: 616692, member: 89325"] Hi... following as I'm in a similar position - started insulin about 6 weeks ago and have put on about 6lbs/3kg... on top of getting used to everything else, it is really distressing - so I can very much empathise... :-/ I'm lower carb than "average" and higher fat than average too - though no where near as low as [USER=84861]@Heathenlass[/USER] - I wonder, are you a meat eater Heathenlass...? I only ask as I'm pretty much vegan and would struggle to get my carbs that low. I did do it once, but was basically living on green salads and nuts - not much fun... if you happen to be veggie or vegan I'd love to hear what you eat :-) My insulin usage is still relatively low and my diet is still what most would call "very healthy" - plus I either do a four mile brisk walk everyday, or swim, or yoga - so I'm kinda shocked at the weight gain - and worried this is an upward trend - as I know putting on much more weight will make me very low.... so hopefully some others may have some ideas...
