[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1676948"] My understanding is that insulin makes you gain weight IF you suffer from insulin resistance. Having type 1, this is unlikely. Sure, not taking insulin will cause you to lose weight but this is because you body is having to break down your fat/muscles to get energy. This results in ketones which are a bad thing. As far as I know (which is limited, I confess), the techniques for losing weight with type 1 are the same as losing weight without diabetes (diet and exercise) but you still take insulin. [/QUOTE]
