How can I lose weight while taking insulin for Type 1 diabetes?

I have had Type 1 for 10 years and have gained 60 lbs since starting insulin therapy in 2000!

My nutritionist gave me little insight by telling me that insulin makes you gain weight, I need to take less. But how, and still get the nutrition I need?

Hi,

You might want to read this book. Dr. Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes. The PH Miracle for Diabetes. By Dr. Young By eating more foods that are low on the Glycemic index, then it might be possible to use less insulin each day, doing what your nutritionist said.

Try eating some oatmeal for breakfast, and add some cinnamon. This should be a meal that slowly changes to blood sugars, and is good for you. Another hint – what sugar level are you trying to maintain? What levels are you staying at when you test the sugar levels? Lets say that you now are staying between 90 and 110, yet if you took 1 less unit of medication, it might go up to say 120 – 140.

This is not dangerous, so you might be better off, and able to lose that weight that you wanted to. There is also a hormone that is made in the liver to bring up blood sugar levels by burning body fats that had been stored previously. I need to get that hormone working – so I can burn up some of the weight that I have gained too!

LOL I don’t know if you are drinking a lot of soft drinks, but I suggest that you give them up forever. The PH of a soft drink is only about 2.5 to 3.0 PH, this is not very good for the body. I suggest that you read the books, and start to use the tips.

Good Luck!
