Trying to lose weight

I'm a 34yo woman who has had diabetes for 29 years. All my life I have struggled with my weight. I've tried to achieve a healthy weight but no matter what I've tried I never seem to get there. I want to become a bodybuilder and have started training hard. although I hav put on some muscle I have put more fat on. I am extremely frustrated as my diet consists of protein 1st cereal (low GI cereal), and skim milk, protein shakes(low carbs), brown rice and green veges. This is about as strict as it will get. Ive gained weight on this regiem. Could it be the type of insulin I'm on? I currently use lantus and novorapid.

it could be or you may just need to change up your diet some here is one they had me on when i wa pregnant with gestational diebetes (diabetes). i ate good protine like eggs and one starch, then in between brakefast and lunch i would have a snack consisting of peanut butter and crackers, for lunch i would have nothing but protine i had normaly taco meet and shreded cheese with unsweet tea. and then between lunch and dinner i would have another snack consisting of peanut butter and crakers most this becuz i was a sinor in high school when i was pregnant. then for supper i would have meat for sure and one starch i have found out from the nutrionnust that if you dont have a starch with your super it can cause your night time blood sugar to be high as for drinking i would drink upsweet tea one DIET soda and like 3 gallons of water and the only exsercise i did was when i would walk around at school which would consist of about a hour and half a day this dite really really really worked for me when i got pregnant i weight 210 my highest pregnacy weight was 214 i only gaind 4 pounds my whole pregnacy and two weeks after i had my daughter i weight 188 so maybe this will help you idk it sure worked for me but crazy thing is i have put on all the weight agian from stress a year after my daughters birth and i am trying to do this dite agian and i have no will power to do it, but when my OB-GYN told me it was this or a large baby it was like i didnt even have to try. hum well now that i have spilled my life story maybe it will help you god bless and take care keep your head up and heart set on your dream.
