[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2114054, member: 196960"] Hi [USER=93162]@lcarter[/USER]. I'm also on Toujeo300 and novarapid. I'm currently losing weight because I got to 139kgs on huge doses of insulin. I'm losing due to a bariatric surgery now but before I had to lose to be accepted for op so I've done the 800cals diet which was milkshakes and a veg dinner. I've done low carb in various amounts and various amounts of fat. It resulted in me just burning some fat, not all. My blood results varied too with some great results in some areas but not in all. Mind u I hv other medical conditions so very difficult to serve so many needs. I decided weight loss was my biggest need as I could get good bgs in any of the above diets with insulin and with varied reductions in insulin units but weight loss was needed as I'm a old mum with young children, one with special needs. I wanted weight off for less insulin need and longevity for my kids. Ive had diabetic symptoms since I was 5/6yrs old. My weight has ballooned but reduced only on very low calories. The hunger before my op was sabotaging my weight loss so I decided a Roux-en-y op had the best benefits, for me. I now hv no hunger but hv (nearly regimented) 3 meals, no snacks or very similiar. I'm alert to brain hunger but I honestly feel it's carb cravings. Or which I'm well rehearsed at putting at bay. (Eat low carb nibble and next day revise what I ate). I'm in no way suggesting bariatric intervention, that would hv to come from your consultant only. However reducing carbs and calories (low fat, low sugar, low other carbs too) reduces my insulin units and body weight. [/QUOTE]
