Until about 2 weeks ago I had never owned a scale. I decided that after a visit to my endocrinologist it was time to purchase one. I do not have a weight problem but since I became an insulin pumper I have had what I would call weight creep.My daily insulin usage and carb intake data is kept on my pump until I upload it onto the internet. From there I can track my carb intake from the various amount of report that can be generated. My endo had made comments about the amount of carbs that I was consuming. This coupled with insulin equals weight gain which is something that people who pump or use a combination of fast and short acting insulin need to be aware of.
I am happy to say that since I cut my carbs from approx. 225-250 a day down to 125-150 that I have seen a major improvement in the way I look, feel and how much I weigh. Every time I think I have gotten closer to mastering diabetes I get reminded that I will never master it but that I will have the knowledge to deal with most of the curves that it throws at me.

It's most certainly a balancing act. I don't own a scale because I think I would be too obsessive about my weight if I did. But in the past year I have made a concerted effort to watch the types of food I am eating and have lost weight because of it. It's nice, isn't it?
