Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hi everyone, My name is and I have recently joined the group. I was diagnosed type 1 diabetic back in January of 2003. I was 29 at the time and the diagnosis came as a complete shock. I thought I was in the best shape of my life. Funnily enough, at the time of my diagnosis I was trying to get pregnant and found out on the same day that I was in fact pregnant. After a rather stressful pregnancy, I had a healthy baby boy. He is almost 10 months now and is just fabulous. Adjusting to a diabetic lifestyle has been really hard, I was on a very strict routine during my pregnancy so I have been trying to relax a bit since his birth but I suppose my life will never be the carefree one it was before I was diabetic. The one thing I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with is a question regarding my weight gain. I am currently 10lbs heavier than before the baby. I don't know if it is because of the pregnancy or the insulin, (maybe both). I have heard that people on insulin tend to gain a bit of weight. Has anyone experienced this? I excersise daily and eat well (with the occasionaly treat). I just feel that despite my best efforts the weight won't budge. I look forward to participating in this active and informative group.
