    I'm very sorry for your diagnosis. I'm T2, slightly different, same consequences.

    Hi

    You could for a little while see how lowering your carb intake (not cutting out altogether) would work as the more carbs you have the more insulin you need and it is insulin also that adds the weight.

    Hi Cruz, I was diagnosed as type 1 in 2005. I have really struggled in the past with weight loss, weighed 104 kg in 2008,
    However I have never given up and today I'm 82 kg.
    I must say with this Fit-ness-pal it made it much easier to work out how much insulin to take when while avoiding hypo's and still lose weight.
    Ask if you have any specific questions.
