I am type 2 and while I am not on insulin I am on drugs that cause lows . I can sympathize with your situation. When you use insulin the body does not always know how to handle the food it takes in so more gets stored as fat. I would strongly recommend strength training and not looking at the scale as much. The reason why is because if you can build up muscle the body will reshape it self into an awesome bod. Unless your come from a family of body builders you wont bulk up like a lot of women fear. you will just tone into a healthier you.
You will gain weight at first so pay no attention to the scale , pay attention to your pants size.0 -
I was strength training, but I really need to lose fat.0
