Type One Diabetic

I've used the app for years on and off, but a year ago I was diagnosed with type one diabetes at the age of 16, but I love exercise and being active, so I thought I wouldn't let the diagnosis get me down. However, it did. For just over a year. I gained about 12 pounds within the first month of my diagnosis, purely due to the fact that I was matching my food to my insulin amount, when it should've been the other way around. Anyway, here I am kicking it into high gear again, with virtually no more low blood sugars (yay for no extra eating!) but i still have the pesky 12 pounds on me. I really hope I'm not the only type one out there with this problem, I just want my fit body back! I'm going to continue to try and update my journal as much as I can each day, given I am a high school student and work part-time, so my schedule is busy, but no excuses this time around. It's time to get back on the fitness train.
