I am 22, 6ft tall and weighed 130 when I was dx 2.5 yrs ago. Way too skinny! I went back to my normal weight after diagnosis of around 145. Stayed that way for two years but found out I gained 20lbs recently and it happened quick. Along with that I noticed my insulin resistance was going up so I am using more insulin. I think I'm finally out of that honeymoon phase and that may have contributed? Idk. I'm a nursing student and don't have a lot of time to focus on diet. I ate well but not strict. Recently after finals I went gluten free to help myself eat a low carb diet and I feel great! I'm running 2-3 times a week and doing core exercises almost daily. My blood sugars are really great. I actually had to lower my basal! I pass out at work I was so low one night. Just glad I work at a hospital with a bunch of other nurses! Anyway, try eating the right portions and sticking to less carbs per meal. I don't pick a certain amount per meal but per day I try to stay under 200. Usually hit the 100-150 range. Good luck with everything! It's tough but possible!
