weight loss for celiac and type 1 diabetes

[bubbles230]

I have recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. Since then I have gained quite a bit of weight. I exercise 2-3 times a week but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. any suggestions?

I'm not familiar with Celiacs disease but type 1 diabetes has absolutely no effect on weight loss.. I have type 1 diabetes and I work out about 5 or 6 hours a day 5 days a week.

IN FACT: working out will only maybe your glucose control better

hello!
I'm having a similar problem myself, BUT, my endo says that going on the insulin pump is a good way to loose weight as the intake of insulin is reduced by 20%! I lost a bit of weight when I was on it too, but i just personally find my life easier with the insulin pens! In saying that, it is much better to use the pump for type 1 diabetics! (its just not for everybodies lifestyle) :)

Eat only wheat bread not white, sweet potato not white, plenty of vegies like broccoli, chicken and fish. Try to eat pork and beef maybe once a week. Try this, I did and dropped 22 lbs. in 3 weeks. Hope this helps.
