I just found this group! I've been a type 1 for 13 years now, and have 3 kids, ages 5, 8 and 11. I haven't lost much weight since my 5 year old was born, so although I'm glad for the consistency and not gaining, its frustrating. I started symlin several months ago, but got off the habit during the summer when the kids were home. I'm trying to do it again, but I've found it doesn't seem to work as well as it did. I need to call my doc to see whats up.

hello. I'm new to this group. T2 since 2004 and it started with a thyroid tumor. Since then I have put on 50 lbs and cannot lose regardless of what I've tried. The Dr said "Metabolic Syndrome" but what else can I do. I've gotten my numbers down. My A1c just went from 6.1 to 5.9. But I need to lose some weight. Help !!!

I've started my diet 3 days ago. Let's see what appens. I've been making less insulin (Novorapid) and also less levemir(bg's are amazing. Between 3,2 and 7,6mmol/l). I've been on diet 8 months and i've lost almost 13 kgs. And i had a little break but I have started again. So wish me luck! When I eat light food and keep out of milk and bread. And potatoes, my diabetes is THE BEST ever. There are some things I really taste but can't eat. :)

Any advice on dramatic blood sugar rises after exercise? On a rare good day when I start out with a sugar under 150 and then exercise w/o eating and after intense exercise my sugar rises to 300+. It is so frustrating... Any info would be appreciated...

Has anyone heard of the Lyrica making you gain large amounts of weight? I have has a lot of people and a nurse and my dr. tell me that it does. He took me off of it and I have lost a few lbs. already. He put me on topomax instead but I am still having the pain. I think he is going to have to increase the dose. I know Lantus also makes you gain weight but he put me back on it because my sugars was 400-500 so I had no choice.
