Well, I'm starting to think that it might be for me too! I work really hard...I eat very low carb with barely a treat and run up 26 floors of the building where I work as often as I can. I need a break.
Is there any downside to insulin? |
Yea, I see that you're doing all you possibly can already!! As for downside to insulin ... uhhh .... possible weight gain. I have gained 5 pounds since starting, but then again, I've been eating higher fat foods lately due to financial reasons, costs more to eat 'healthier', yanno!
But I'm working right now at taking that back off, and then some!
I don't want or need to gain anymore! LOL
I don't know if the weight gain is due to the insulin specifically, or that people in general, tend to eat more stuff, because, well, they can!! Insulin DOES give you that freedom! If you know you're gonna eat a higher carb meal, well, just inject some insulin to cover it! Altho I dont make this a common practice for me!! I still eat my moderately low carb meals (45g or under) as I have been doing since Dx. Have only done that 'cover' deal a couple times.
