Hi Robin. Would it be possible to increase your carb intake somewhat, and dial up your insulin a tad too? Or would that just be too risky? I think of that because it's the opposite of anorexics I've met on ED forums who are also T1D - they would slash their insulin (or not take it at all) to become underweight.

Did your periods actually stop, or is that just a comment the doctor offered up? FWIW, a lot of the gals on the ED forums also mention a wide range of experiences regarding fertility at low weights - the stereotype is "BMI below (17-19 or whatever), amenorrhea, infertility" but the reality is a whole lot of underweight moms. There's also a huge range of BMIs at which women become amenorrheaic, and many that don't at all. I never stopped menstruating at a 17 BMI.
