Hi all-
I have been diabetic since 1989 (at age 11). I have never been super skinny, but never really overweight either. I have noticed that since I have switched from NPH and regular to Lantus and Humalog I have gaind approx 35lbs in the last 4 years. I stated the insulin pump two years ago and went from 178 to 202 in three months (dr said that it was water weight) and I went off the pump as I was so bloated that my shoes, rings and pants did not fit. I have worked hard the last 6 months to get that weight off (going from 194 to 171). I always took my Lantus, but was hit or miss with my Humalog (blood sugars stayed pretty good, I am not a big eater). All of my test for kidney, liver, eyes are normal, and my A1C is a little elevated- 7.1. Recently I have decided that I want to in the best health that I can be. I exercise (cardio) at least one hour a night, eat between 1100 and 1350 calories a day, and my blood sugars have been in the low 100s. However, I have gone from 173lb to 182lb in a week. My dr keeps telling me it is not weight gain,but water retention, however the numbers on the scale are all the same to me, and my clothes are not fitting right anymore. I am getting really frustrated...any suggestions?
