Erm I've been diabetic for about 5years but ItS only recently that we have found insulin that is controlling my sugars. For the first couple of years they kept saying I was type 2 diabetic and they didn5 really take it seriously but now they have apologised and said they got it wrong and I'm type 1.
To be honest none has sat me down and explained about a low carb diet. I've cut down on bread of all types but that's about it. Is there any resources online that you recommend I read or see. I do kind of feel I've been left to my own devices to figure this all out.Hi. I'm no expert but bear in mind that insulin allows the body to metabolise carbs and if eaten in excess the body will store them as body fat. I guess it's possible that the insulin change has enabled your body to better metabolise carbs than before? Are you already having sensibly low carb diet?
I was on lantus for about 2 years. To be honest o dont think my eating habits have changed. Yeah the control on tresiba has been really good. My sugars are more controlled and I've actually been having very low sugars.Hi @Lauzipoo
Pooh wedding dress shopping - have fun! I refused to diet before my wedding as lots of my friends did - looked amazing for the day then went back to normal sizes and as a result appear “to have let themselves go” compared to wedding photos!
Anyway, non of that helps you. So, how long were you on Lantus? Has anything else changed E.g. happy relationship eating where you eat the same portions as hubby to be? Has control improved on Tresiba?

Yeah I think my bg have been controlled for about the last year maybe less.Wow, I'm sorry you were misdiagnosed. So in effect. Not great managment of BGs till started on insulin?
Sorry if it seemed like a silly question. Prior to an official diagnosis of T1, there can be rapid weight loss. As things settle into reasonable control of BGs this weight can be regained. Quite natural.

Yeah I'm on the same dosage as before. So could the basal dosage be contributing to the weight gain?I noticed in your earlier post, you've been having "low sugars?" Is this without any bolus (short acting insulin) on board?
Did your doctor prescribe the same dosage with the Tresiba as you were on the Lantus?
You may need to consult your doc & tweak the basal dosage down.. If you find youself getting & treating more lows than you should?
This may help. https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/

Nope none hasHas anyone explained a basal test to you? Might be worth doing one.
