Nicolette posted a blog postPerfect blood sugars
My aim is just to have really perfect blood sugars after months of high ones and putting my body through torture. I just don't know the right foods and when to eat. This has been such a problem for me lately. Any tips?
Angelica Koder commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Diabulimia?'"When I was in high school I would omit insulin shots just because I didn't want to deal with it not as a way to lose weight...I hadn't realized until this post that it was a condition...."
dzinermom1 commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Diabulimia?'"I was doing it and did not even know it after being mis-diagnosed as a type 2. Went on losing weight and wound up DKA in emergency and ICU for 4 days. Please be careful :)"

Richmatik commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Is diabetes making me gain weight...?'"Insulin itself won't cause you to gain weight. It's simply a hormone, and everyone has it. Our bodies just don't produce it on its own, so we have to provide it - thus we are now the controller.
If the amount of carbohydrates you…"
Ann commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Is diabetes making me gain weight...?'"Nicolette, you say on your profile that you're 16 years old. Because you're so young, I think it might be a good idea for your to talk to your endo about your concern over gaining weight. Maybe he/she can help you figure out what's…"
Super_sally commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Is diabetes making me gain weight...?'"I think Insulin dose and carbs are related (to a lesser extent protein). If you eat less carbs you automatically need less insulin to cover it.
Insulin is a hormone that tells our body to store fat. If we have high levels of insulin (either through…"
Nicolette commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Is diabetes making me gain weight...?'"Ill try to eat less carbs...I feel like insulin makes you hungry though"
acidrock23 commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Is diabetes making me gain weight...?'"I don't think that it's the insulin as much as the carbs which, generally, one "covers" with insulin. I was 275 lbs in 2006 and am now around 180ish. Some of it might be exercise, as I have gotten more active but I think the main…"
Nicolette commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Is diabetes making me gain weight...?'"I am getting my thyroid checked next month because I was wondering if it had something to do with it. Thanks for the advice i'll trying changing up my exercise routine :) How much insulin or carbs should I be eating then?"
Super_sally commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Is diabetes making me gain weight...?'"Seeing you are already exercising and eating healthy, I think to lose weight you would need to decrease the insulin. The only way to safely decrease the insulin, while maintaining good blood sugars, would be to eat lower carb (replace the carb with…"
Nicolette commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Is diabetes making me gain weight...?'"what do you mean per endo exercise?"
furball64801 commented on Nicolette's blog post 'Is diabetes making me gain weight...?'"Since I am new here I will let some of the type 1s answer even though I am type 2 on insulin."

Is diabetes making me gain weight...?
Posted on January 11, 2012 at 5:08pm 12 Comments 0 Likes
Hey guys it's been a long time since i've been on here, but I came back because I need some help...I don't know what it is, either diabetes or my diet, but I've been gaining weight and it's almost impossible to lose it...i've tried everything and I even exercise and eat a lot better now and still nothing! It's so frustrating and I don't know where else to go for advice. To be honest, I think it has a lot to do with having diabetes.
Why are my blood sugar numbers so high ??

Paige said… Hello Nicolette!
I'm using Tudiabetes as a way to connect with fellow young adults with diabetes. I'm a University of South Florida student and president of our chapter of "Students with Diabetes." We're hosting a national conference June 1st - 3rd in Tampa and want to bring in as many Type I diabetics (18 - 30yrs) as possible from across the country.
Anyway! The conference costs $55 dollars total, but we can't pay for your plane ticket (housing, food, & activities like Busch Gardens are, however, included in the price). Please let me know if you are interested in any of this and/or visit our website for more information!
If you're interested in any of this, please contact me! I'm usually easy to get in touch with. :)
