[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2504630, member: 521079"] It’s a known side effect for T2 as I said, but could be the reasons you are both saying that makes it more applicable to T1 [URL]https://www.verywellhealth.com/rapid-weight-loss-5101064[/URL] “Glucose is a sugar released into the bloodstream when you eat and drink. The pancreas makes insulin in response to the higher sugar levels in your blood. The body needs this hormone to release glucose to all its cells. With diabetes, the glucose builds up in your bloodstream. You may lose weight because the body needs an energy source and burns fat and muscle instead“ when I was diagnosed my blood levels were extremely high, that suggests for me this was the impact. Makes me think though, excess insulin isn’t helping with the wxcess glucose, I think I understand very little on how it works! As I’m well over a decade and now in remission, it’s definitely T2 in my case seems like there may be sone form of tipping point then? Weight gain in general but at a certain point the levels in the blood are just too high. In t1 the lower levels of insulin mean it happens more often maybe? there are also drugs like the flozins that help weight loss by causing you to extrete glucose in urine. [/QUOTE]
