I had a very quick look at some of your old posts and see you used to be T2 but were rediagnosed (after a DKA???).As a long term T1 and insulin user  I find weight loss difficult and frustrating but not totally impossible.  For me, exercise and lowish carb helps but I have to watch the cheese and alcohol.   I long ago decided to prioritise my blood sugars over any weight loss so I match my insulin to my food and only reduce it if my bg meter tells me I need to.  But it's not uncommon for people to lose weight before a T1 diagnosis and then regain some of it when they start the insulin they desperately need.  Have you gained a lot of weight since starting insulin?</blockquote>
