If that's the case, hasn't one of your doctors given you a diet and pretty much mandated that you go on it?
No. The only Dr. concerned with my weight is my PCP and he is the one pushing surgery. My Endocrinologist pretty much told me that it's nearly impossible to lose weight taking as much insulin as I take and that's that. However, if I don't lose weight I'll never stop taking the insulin. I saw a dietician who was pushing the American Diabetes Association plan, which is basically eat next to nothing and be hungry all the time. I say that with tongue slightly in cheek, but that's what it amounts to. I can do that for 2-3 days and then I wind up eating everything in sight.
