losing weight while on insulin

First of all, you might get more responses if you posted on Type II forum, as this is Type I. Also there isn't a lot of traffic here in general, so I suggest you go on to a board with a lot of people who are considering these issues and you will get a lot more info. Two good ones are: TuDiabetes.com and Diabetesforums.com Just to give you some general feedback, you don't mention what your medication regimen is or if you take insulin.

the docs dont know it all they keepo increasing your insulin dosage and you do put on the weight just from the added insulin. then they say something about your weight. just dont be like me i gave up on it all and now my eyes are all messed up and have nerve problems and this last doc visit i learned my potassium levels were elevated.

i've been told the same thing, Just eat balanced, ask your RE if you can see a dietician, i have one i'm working with and its great! i lost over 30 lbs, but i'm struggling to lose weight as well b/c i put the 30 i lost back on. I also have PCOS and i am also pre diabetic. They have me on 1500 of glumetza and it seems to be helping with my blood sugars.

Lucky. I keep gaining weight. But its normal when you're cutting out carbs from your diet to lose a few unneeded pounds. As long as you're eating healthy and taking your vitamins you baby is fine.

There is never an easy way to lose weight in my experience. Dieting and losing weight is not easy for anyone, but I do understand the particular challenges for diabetics. After going through a few lows, you often just feel like giving up. The one nice thing about diabetes is that it provides you with the basics for a healthy balanced diet, so we already know what we should eat.

I don't see how you could have been a type I diabetic. Your after eating blood sugar is not high. Your fasting blood sugar is a little high. What does your doctor say? Are you sure you weren't a type II diabetic?

I weighed 226 and now I weigh 166 but still have diabetes. Though I feel losing weight may be stopped by losing weight I feel like that is mostly the morbidly obese though I am not a doctor.

But in a few years - I may try all of these. My weight seems to have leveled off. Not losing any more weight, I uped my carb intake, was practically eating no carbs. I will wait to see what my nex A1c is ... Thaks so much for your input ... I have never heard of LADA type diabetes.

I think my post is accurate. Is it not true if you lose weight you do increase your chances of SVR? Will losing weight before TX address the metabolic issues? Most of the time losing weight is the only thing necessary to rid oneself of the metabolic syndrom.

I recall one study that said losing as little as 10lbs starts to decrease the metabolic syndrom #'s.

heya, i got diagnosed about 2 years ago, i have always been an active hockey player, yet i constantly put on weight without any change in diet or exercisee. Does anyone else experience this?

i cant lose weight, while i do exercises 4 time a week for 70 minutes, and i only take 1200 calories per day, im 105kg and 188cms.

I actually had recently lost 50 lbs on a high protien diet before I had the initial tests run. My weight loss physician had told me I was losing the weight kind of fast and I needed to gradually bring back in good carbs. So I started that, maintained the weight loss for 3 years and now am told I am insulin resistant. So now I am trying to increase my exercise and back off any carbs as much as possible. I guess my questions are 1. what are the "numbers" I am looking at?

please help. I suspect I have been hypothyroid for the last ten years (when I started putting on weight for no reason). I’m going to be 32 next week and it would be amazing to see even a little progress.

If there is no medical issues then losing weight while working on a night shift should work like losing weight while working on the day shift.

Hello, I lost 32 pounds in a matter of 3 weeks and have recently lost another 10. My eating habits have completely changed and I know eat very little. I will get to 8:00 PM and then realize that I haven't eaten anything all day.I am not doing this intentionally but I think it has gotten out of hand. As much as it is subconscious when I look into the mirror I don't really like what I see. Everyone comments on how much weight I've lost but I don't seem to see it.

Thanks! I had never thought about my thyroid -- it could definitely be an issue I should check out. My case of dibetes is quite unique in many ways. Right now, I weigh 150, but take 42 units of Lantus at night and I exchange 6 carbs for one unit of Humalog. Doctors can't figure out why I have to take so much insulin to bring my blood sugars down -- When I was diagnosed with diabetes just two summers ago, I was hiking in the Grand Canyon and nearly died getting out.

Hey everyone, I'm on methadone too for 6 years now and have gone from 115 lbs of firm, smooth muscle to 160 lbs of cellulite-covered, jiggly fat. Yum. I'm on 70 mg, just like you, Suziblues. Not a really high dose, but enough to pack on the pounds apparently. I have found that it's REALLY hard to lose weight on this stuff... but I agree that I'd rather be overweight than strung out again.
