Can someone please clarify something for me?

For the past 2 weeks I've been concentrating on getting my diabetes under control. Been quite successful at it too: average readings are now around 4 instead of 9.

The side-effect though is that I've stopped losing weight (and have gained around 4 pounds). I'm being very careful with protein, water etc but it seems relentless increase, especially as I've been in a stall.

What can I do? Apart from letting my diabetes get worse and concentrate on the losing weight: which was my technique before surgery. 

How frustrating for you, but great to hear your numbers are down. How is your diet different (controlling diabetes vs. losing weight)?

Are you getting your diabetes under control by using more insulin?

If you take more insulin to bring your sugar level under control your body will be holding onto that fat.

Yes. That's where I was going too.  I learned the hard way how increasing insulin can be like pushing on a rope in the weight loss game.

Same with my hubby. Before he had RNY his diabetes nurse actually said, "I hope your endocrinologist didn't ask you to lose weight because with the amount of insulin you are on that is going to be damned near impossible."
