The term Diabulemic implies that you avoid eating and taking insulin to lose weight ... but there are times when I avoid eating so that I can reduce the number of injections I need - I've lost an average of 10lbs per month since Christmas (although I'm admittedly still 225lbs - I can easily lose another 32 lbs and still be overweight for my height (6'1")
Congratulations on loosing the weight, 10lb per month must be hard work at least your doing something about it, there are many people who won't/don't. Keep it up. What insulins are you taking?
