Type 1 diabetes and obesity

by Anonymous
(Santa Barbara, CA)

I am 58 and have had Type 1 diabetes since 16 months of age. Although I haven't suffered any major diabetes-related complications, I am 5'3" and weigh 280 pounds.

I have tried Symlin injections and various diets, but have never been able to lose more than 30-40 pounds. (Symlin was the most effective; but I got tired of the injections and the occasional serious hypoglycemia that resulted, so now use it only to bring down a highly elevated BG).
I'm also a certified diabetes nurse educator and know that my image does not represent a healthy picture of diabetes. I know it will take at least a year to lose the weight in an intelligent manner. My daughter is getting married in 8 months, and I would like to have lost at least 50-80 pounds by then.
What would you suggest to get and stay motivated, as I get discouraged and give up after a month or two?
Thank you.

Sort 1 can go to any1, it’s not preference, it’s actual that overweight people as a rule create sort 2 however it’s not difficult to get sort 1. The distinction is sort 1 is the place your pancreas creates no isolets (insulin delivering cells) where sort 2 produces little isolets.

The only thing that we need to do right now is to fight it in order for us all to have a better and much happier life ahead. Gastric Bypass? does anyone here consider it as the best solution? But I got from a review that says "Roca Labs is safer than gastric bypass surgery". It's a good news right? I got this information from this link- youtube.com/user/RocaLabsReviews.
