I'll bump your post up Jackie as I haven't got a clue being a Type 2.

I'm type 1 and on injections. I lost a lot of weight last year by eating healthy (low carb too) and exercising. I've managed to kp my weight off. However I'm getting a pump this month n worried my weight would rise so I've started using herbalife shakes for breakfast as a weight maintenance plan

Yeah I'm on injections and would love a pump in hopes it might help lose weight as have heard you have more control on a pump all I need to do is get a pump lol

I Have't got any experience on a pump but lots on loosing weight. Trying to loose weight (maybe you mean fat?) while diabetic can be hard as insulin is a big part of it. I'd say have a go on injections first, If anything it can make you more aware of the effects of food.
