Struggling to Lose Weight as a Type 1 Diabetic

Good morning! I find it excruciatingly difficult to lose weight as a Type 1 diabetic; I was hoping my recent return to a pump would help ( I can avoid dropping low when I eat less and exercise) . Instead, I ve gained. Then, I stress eat. Obviously the calories AND the stress are contributors to this cycle but I know SOMEONE has conquered this and I d love to hear how you did it,!

Still newish to using them, but off label glp -1 drugs have really helped with the appetite but they do have side effects and conquering insulin resistance

It is very hard with POTS but I do yoga and use my treadmill. It's easier to walk at home where I can stop and rest at anytime, or check my blood sugar or blood pressure when I feel I need to.
