I do eat cheese I make sure I get a cheese toastie for lunch most days 'ihave a strange addiction to mature scotish chedder' and I eat 50carbs in morning, around 30 at dinner & 40 in evening maybe some snacks inbetween, try nuts, and I was gaining weight at fir I gained 4lbs in a week lol but then lost it the week after! Then came the time of the month and bgl were uncontrollable even with more units of insulin then I was eating! And a chest infection days after that and still trying to regain full control at the minute it only seems to be last meal that's the struggle a little increase should help but I have hypos when in tight control, around 2-3 a day in bad cases so after treatment its hard to get back down maybe this is why I can't gain weight? :/ I shall try & see a doc about protein shakes maybe
