Gaining Weight After a Month on Pump

Has anyone experienced weight gain after being on the pump? I started on the Medtronic MiniMed pump about a month ago. I do try to watch what I eat and exercise 4-5 times a week and I got on the…Continue

Hey, why…"
Daisy Mae replied to Gayle's discussion 'Gaining Weight After a Month on Pump'"i lost about 30 lbs when i went on the pump. i was too frightened to eat, having to use all those buttons."
Timothy replied to Gayle's discussion 'Gaining Weight After a Month on Pump'"If you are not spilling much or any glucose, then your weight should not change on the pump.
I have been pumping for 7 years and did not gain weight, but when I started using CGM and tightened up my control, I did gain. So like everyone else I had…"
MKSSS replied to Gayle's discussion 'Gaining Weight After a Month on Pump'"I have excellent control now as a pen user. Do you think the weight gain would be less since my blood sugar is already pretty well controlled, or is it something that I just have to accept will probably happen due to the insulin being delivered…"
Timothy replied to Gayle's discussion 'Gaining Weight After a Month on Pump'"With better control, all those calories that you used to pee into the toilet are now staying in your body. This is the curse of better control. Makes you realize that you need to eat less, because before you got into a habit that you needed more…"
Daisy Mae replied to Gayle's discussion 'Gaining Weight After a Month on Pump'"i went on the pump about 11yrs ago and i couldnt have been happier. i lost 30 lbs rather quickly; my body was so used to having so much xtra insulin on board (long-acting NPH and LENTE) (this was obviously B4 fast acting insulin came along). when i…"
MKSSS replied to Gayle's discussion 'Gaining Weight After a Month on Pump'"Hi Gayle, So this post was obviously a few years ago :) but I am wondering if things evened out for you as far as the weight gain on the pump? Did you stay on the pump? I am considering going to to the pump and as I was reading about it I was so…"

Gayle replied to rickyd7's discussion 'I NEVER got taught that either,' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I actually had a high blood sugar reading a couple of times while on my minimed pump. I called Medtronic and they were very happy to help me. Apparently my cannula was bent and the pump "thought" I was getting insulin and I was not. Took a…"
Gayle replied to Ninoslav Raskovic's discussion 'Gaining weight on insulin pump' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I agree...mine is definitely in better control."
Gayle replied to Ninoslav Raskovic's discussion 'Gaining weight on insulin pump' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Hi Bunny! I'm curious....what were the side effects you are speaking of? Would love to hear more about this. I just asked my doctor if there was anything and he told me no. What is the expense associated with the drug?"
Gayle replied to Ninoslav Raskovic's discussion 'Gaining weight on insulin pump' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I've found that too. When I go too low then all bets are off and I am just looking to survive the low. I am trying to remember to eat every fews hours....something healthy and low in calories. I also keep glucose tabs with me and they really do…"

Breakfast!!
Posted on October 17, 2010 at 9:50am 7 Comments 0 Likes
Okay, so I'm trying to cut calories, watch the fat and watch the carbs. In my quest to do this I'm finding breakfast very difficult. I'm not one of those people who can eat the same thing day in and day out. I've been making egg whites with peppers, onions, tomatoes and a little cheese. Sometimes I have a couple slices of turkey bacon as well. So, today I decided I just couldn't do the same thing over again so began looking for alternatives. So, I found a whole slice of pita bread to be 18g of… Continue
Another Day Another Pound - LOST
Posted on October 15, 2010 at 4:42am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Yesterday, as I had promised myself, I watched the calories, fat and, of course, the carbs and I woke up this morning a pound lighter. Yay!!! I walked 2 miles and did some yoga for my abs. So, I am doing everything I can to combat weight gain. It's working!!! Today will be very much of the same. The exercise part is easy because I do that anyway. The "watching" part is the hard part. I didn't watch calories before. I've always kind of watched the fat because I just don't really want to eat… Continue
Low Calorie Foods
Posted on October 14, 2010 at 5:21am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Today I have decided to watch calories as well as carbs and fat. I feel overwhelmed but will do it. Oddly, for me, I haven't had to focus on calories and fat because I am a healthy eater. I make things like quinoa and LOVE them. Now with a system running more optimally I guess I need to watch. So, breakfast was 1/2 bagel thin, sliced tomato and turkey, coffee and water. I dropped creamer and now opt for fat free evap. skim milk and… Continue
47 Years Old and a Newly Diagnosed Type 1
Posted on October 13, 2010 at 8:00am 13 Comments 0 Likes
I am a 47 year old female, newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic. I was originally diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic when I was 42 years old. After losing weight, changing my habits and exercising my numbers seemed to be rising. I was on Metformin, byetta and Levemir and still my numbers were high. Started with an Endo. and he discovered that I hardly made any insulin on my own so he said I was a type 1 and…
