Weight Gain!

[Apple]

Prior to being diagnosed i was 2 stone under weight for someone of my age and build.

However 3 weeks on whilst getting my repeat prescription, i thought i would bite the bullet and get weighed. :burnout:

I felt healthier and people said i was looking a lot better, so i expected maybe 1, 2lbs to be put on. Was really suprised to discover i have put on 8lbs! :eek:

8lbs in 3 weeks :thumbsup:

Really impressed, just gotta keep doing my routine.

So for any people recently diagnosed who are on the forum, stick to your routine and the postives will start to come!!

Yes.. your body was spilling all that sugar through your urine and now it isn't. Apart from your body now being replenished, the insulin causes a bit of this too, it is a growth hormone ya know.

That's fabulous! I hope you are feeling a lot better, too, Apple. I lost a lot of weight prior to my diagnosis as well and insulin helped me get back to normal (and age has helped me become above-average--gotta lose a bit!).
