insulin and weight gain... help!
My drs are happy w my progress. Oct 15 I was diagnosed w type 1 and it's now nov 18 and I've gained 8 lbs. most people would think it's no big deal but I'm also a heart patient w heart disease and have worked very hard the past 8 years to loss almost 100 lbs. I'm down to 173 (that's with the 8lb gain) I'm so frustrated. I'm counting carbs like crazy and exercising 3-4 times a week. I'm getting the insulin pump in 2 weeks and I'm scared to death my weight is just going to continue to rise. I'm eating baked fish salads veggies... I know how a diabetic should it... So it isn't that. While I'm happy w my sugars being under control I'm devastated that I'm gaining this weight dispite how hard I'm working. Help? Advice? Something?
