[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2293805, member: 345386"] Prefacing this by stating I'm neither t1, nor an insulin user. If you are keen to track your weight through this, I don't think midnight is the best time to get a consistent view of things. Personally, I weigh each morning, as soon as I wake, after my first wee, and before tea. I just step on and step off the scales. Easy. I have some fairly posh scales that do some measurements of fat, muscle, visceral fat and so on, and I use those aspects every few weeks - more to ensure I'm not losing muscle mass, or gaining visceral fat, than anything else. That works for me, for a consistent set of circumstances, but even then, as a low carber, with stable weight, my weight canvary by +/-1kg on a daily basis. That variation is just by virtue of how much and what I ate the day before, and quite simple, how much waste I have on board. (Sorry to be impolite!) If you are keen to track your weight, don't make any decisions on weight too quickly, until you learn how your body works. Many folks lose weight when they start on a low carb way of eating, but for a million reasons, some don't. I've been using this way of eating for a few years now and maintain fairly easily. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
