Kinda a long post, but... I'm Female, 19 and Type I Diabetic and I think this may be causing me trouble when it comes to losing weight.
Over the last month and a half I've only lost ~1.5lbs. At first, I tried eating a really low calorie diet for about a week without exercise but that didn't work for me. I have noticed that I've gained a little bit of muscle mass in my legs but nowhere near what I should be gaining/losing and no gains anywhere else...
Every day I do 1+ hour of cardio (usually running 3 miles on a treadmill @7mph and an elliptical machine for 30 mins), squats, rowing machine, lunges, and use weight machines to tone my legs, abs, and arms. Lately, in addition, I've been running a mile or 1.5 miles outside. I sweat a lot during these exercises which is why I'm confused as to why they are not helping?
I usually eat the same thing every day, which is a great decrease in junk food (I've completely cut it all out) and calories from what I've been eating before.
My numbers have been very good, about 116 average for the entire month and a half with some lows mixed in. I am on the insulin pump if that makes a difference.
So my question is does anyone have any diabetic-related causes for this or if I should go see a doctor? I'm really discouraged and at loss for what to do I've tried everything and nothing seems to be working ): I've also been on birth control for about a year but that hasn't caused any noticeable changes in my weight and I'm off it now.
Thanks in advance!

- Breakfast - two pieces of peanut buttered toast
- Lunch/snacks - usually a protein bar or a breakfast cereal bar (no more than 400 calories total for lunch)
- Dinner - either cheerios, a salad, or sometimes a six inch sub from subway
- Late night snack - popcorn (200 calories)
- Cheat meals - sometimes I eat pizza once a week, but other than that no candy, sugars, snacks, etc.
