Since diagnosis, I have seen myself put on up to 20lbs in the space of only about 5-6 weeks. Now, in saying that, I guess some of that time was on the couch and not as physical as one would normally be. Still, it's a fairly substantial amount.
I would have definitely needed to put on a couple of pounds from where I was at. Is it common to put on weight while taking insulin? I guess adding in the amount of cheese to omelettes, sometimes twice daily, would also help things along with nuts and so on.
Wouldn't mind so much, only I went to try a shirt on while away at the weekend in London that I brought with me.....wouldn't close. My jeans were noticeably tighter (super skinny as they were)......went to sit down outside Liverpool Street station....BANG, split in the groin region....
