Weight gain?

[KleboldKlan]

I've been trying to gain weight for a few months now and nothing seems to work. I eat healthy, I lose weight, I eat junk food, I lose weight. My diabetes is well controlled now, blood sugars are 10 and under throughout the day. I'm not allowed to do carb counting either, as they don't think it's right for me. I've emailed my DSN, she is setting up a meeting with a dietitian next month when I go to the clinic, but is there anything else I can do. I do eat carbs and do correct my doses. But I get so stressed out with trying to carb count myself which is probably why they don't think it's right for me. I go from 8 stone to 8 and a half stone. My bones are showing, ribs, back bones I just want them to go. I don't know what else to do.

Obviously I don't know you - but logically, surely the stressful thing about carb counting/dose adjustment, is not knowing how to 'do it' properly? Once you have the scientific method of all the whys and wherefores explained properly to you - it ceases to be a mystery so that every time you try and do it on your own it's scary.

Once you have been taught and understand it - because it's logical, it ceases to be frightening.

Or at least, it did to me.
