[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 375807, member: 21149"] Hi. I guess you possibly need to set a target to reduce your insulin a bit in parallel with some reduction in carbs. This should help with the weight gain being careful to avoid hypos as always. A big plate of potatoes or chips is not ideal (!). Green or other veg is the obvious alternative but if you're like me you may not enthuse over most veg. I have raw carrots which I love and are low-GI when raw. Beans and pulses are excellent. Sounds like portion sizes may need to come down which you may have to do slowly over a period of time. As you say motivation is the problem but I've managed to reduce my portion sizes over the years since diagnosis as my tablets weren't working so just had to keep the carbs down. Now I'm on insulin as well it's tempting to increase portions again which I've done a bit but still less than before. It does get easier at my age but not easy at 42. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
