[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 889119, member: 84857"] Just been looking back to see what has happened since my partner started on the insulin in February....rather worryingly weight has increased by 9kg or 20lbs since the end of January (was 120kg / now 129kg)...so nearly one and a half stone in just five months... ....can only really attribute this to the insulin as oral diabetic medication and blood pressure medication are virtually the same as before....activity levels are unchanged (inactive).... ...as for food this has changed ...and for the most part has changed for the better as he is now only eating salads for main meal and has no potatoes anymore and very little or no bread....there are I know a few things he is eating at other times that he knows (and I know) he shouldn't but would say he is certainly not indulging in the way he did before (only nine months ago it was far worse and he was overindulging on foods without a second thought and in total denial about his diabetes so progress has most definitely been made) ...and that is his choice, not mine...I can only advise against bad food choices where I can but ultimately his choice....on the whole though it has improved considerably from what it was... ....the fact remains that 20lb increase in effectively 20 weeks is a worrying prospect and if this continues at the same rate then it will not be good..current weight has now topped 20 stone so weight loss is now a must... .hoping that the decision to drop the gliclazide and introduce the forxiga is the right one and that weight starts to move in the other direction...
