I am 27 years old, type 1 or LADA, 5'11 and weigh 135 lbs(have gained 6 pounds since adding humalog March 17th). I take 8-10 units of lantus a day and 3-4 units of humalog with meals and snacks (usually about 15-20 units of humalog a day). I have been trying to gain weight and my Endo told me the only way to gain weight is to eat more calories and carbs. I was trying not to eat as many carbs to prevent spikes (I would spike to 350 mg/dl when I would eat too much) . So my Endo added humalog and told me I could eat more. I work shift work and here is an example of my daily diet. I have only been on humalog for a month and i am still trying to figure out my carb/insulin ratio.

5:10 am: (112 mg/dl) just woke up
6:35 am: ate 2 biscuits with jelly,sausage and 8oz orange juice
6:44 am: 4 units of humalog
8:50 am: (138 mg/dl)
11:00 am: Hamburger, chips, lemon pie
11:20 am: 4units of humalog
11:25 am: 10 units lantus
1:30 pm: (92mg/dl) the ate a couple of starburst
3:00 pm: cheesy popcorn
4:20 pm: (113 mg/dl)
4:22 pm: Cap'n crunch cereal and milk
4:30 pm: 1 cup of ice cream and then 4u humalog
7:00 pm: (53 mg/dl) seem to be more sensitive to insulin in evenings
7:15 pm: a little orange juice, subway sandwich(wheat bread) and pretzels
7:22 pm: 3 units of humalog
8:45 pm: (92) then ate about 5 starbursts
10:18 pm: (58mg/dl) then ate cereal and milk
10:40 pm: 2 units of humalog, then ate chips and cheese dip
11:45 pm: (179 mg/dl) bout to go bed.

Then I woke up this mourning @ 9am at 103 mg/dl. I am gaining weight with my new diet (I have put on 6-8 pounds since March 17th) but does anyone see a problem with the way I eat? I have always liked to eat and always ate what I wanted with out gaining weight (I have always been thin), but I lost 12 pounds when I began having symptoms. I love eating and would like to continue to eat like this a: because I like to eat, b: to put weight back on. I would like to get up to 150 pounds. Any criticism would be taken as a positive. Please feel free to chime in.
