Hey all,

I'm new here... Need to lose weight and sort my diabetes out.
I was diagnosed 9 yrs ago and it's been badly controlled all that time... I also have hypothyroidism.

    Me too. I've been suffering from hypothyroidism for 18 years and type 1 diabetic for 15. My diabetes sugars are all over the place (was in the 20+) and my thyroid has been overmedicated for quite a while (although just stable now) I went to the doctors for a blood test as I had gained 20lb in 6 weeks (a lot on my 5ft 1" frame) assuming I was hypo but it came back hyper (how I am gaining weight I don't know) I'm currently bouncing between 158-160lb, it won't budge. I've decided to weigh everything I eat and attempt to keep my sugars on track, currently between normal to 15's (doing this alone as my doctor says he's referred me to the hospital diabetic team and won't tamper with my diabetes, I have to wait for them)

    I've decided to weigh everything, not go over my calorie goal and exercise more. It's so hard though especially when the weight just won't budge.
