Okay, maybe I'm being overly worried about this - you wouldn't think I'd be concerned about gaining a few pounds given how big I am, but you'd be wrong

In one week? I'm willing to bet that it's water retention. It sounds like you're doing everything right. Actually, it sounds like you're doing everything *better* than most people!
Also, doesn't one generally lose weight with untreated (pre-diagnosis) diabetes, rather than gain it? I dunno, that's what the vet told me about my cat when I was worried. Heh. ;)
5 pounds? in a week? i think that could be total stress or water weight or just fluxuations and all that. i can gain and drop up to 8 pounds in 2 days.....but then again that could be my meds.....hope this helps!!
Since it has only been a week, I would say it's definitely just water retention/stress/PMS. I know it's frustrating as hell, especially when you've been watching what you eat and getting physical activity. That's why I only weigh myself once a week- it gets too depressing!
Just moniter yourself for the next few weeks... but I'm sure it's nothing. You are smart for being so tuned into your body though!
