[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1879227, member: 365308"] Sorry I responded too quickly adn its been 7 years since I was on MDI....A pump smooths things out better than 2 lumps of basal doses which as you have found out do not do what they promise 'on the tin; (I am assuming your jab sites are okay and not causing weird absorption of your dose?) . It makes sense to smooth out the basal then work to minimise the insulin whilst keeping your fantastic control (v.jealous of that). I am guessing you are a lady? If female and over 40, If so head over to DietDoctor where they suggest fasting as a useful tactic to re start stalled fat loss. If it all feels like you are really gritting your teeth to do the fasting (perhaps indicated by your frustration) then perhaps its too much or too soon and you should ease back? Anyway 12lb is a stone more or less in a year so not to be sniffed at! Final thought is that you could track progress with other metrics e.g. have you lost inches ? Do you feel better? Try making a scorecard of all the things that you are doing this for because the scales are not that great of an indicator. This may be controversial but there is some thought that SGLt2 inbibitors (canegeflozin etc.) could be prescribed for type 1s. It works by mimmicking the mechanism by which the body helps you pee out glucose when you are hyper and is know to help with weight loss though not worth doing if you are on a low carb regime. TMI probably but some things to keep your DN busy! [/QUOTE]
