I think that both you and Jason are right.
Had you normal insulin production, you'd build up like you have. With insufficient insulin, your body is more likely to catabolize muscle (as you experienced) when it needs fuel.
Immediately post-DX, I had crazy fish cravings. I ate 0.5 to 1.0 pounds per day... along with soy milk, goat milk, and other lesser sources of protein.
Three weeks later, I'd gone from 155 pounds to 168 pounds. I've since leveled off around 175.
When the weather turns warmer, and I'm back in more-familiar territory, I hope to experiment with exercise.
