[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2109987, member: 372207"] Hi [USER=512255]@charman152[/USER] , and welcome to the forum! I'm approaching my 3 year anniversary on insulin and if I have gained weight it's very little. On the other hand, I certainly haven't lost weight and I eat less than before. It's not that I go hungry but I'm satiated with less food, and I mostly quit moreish food like crisps. I could use some serious weight loss but I count myself lucky that the need for healthy blood sugar seems to have settled in my brain as top priority, whatever is needed. I'd rather gain weight than lose eyesight or limbs. Having high blood sugars made me very depressed too (as opposed to my usual moderately depressed state), so when I started insulin I felt much, much better. It may very well be you'll start feeling better about yourself and your body when on insulin too, reducing your anxiety just by not having high bg! As you can read in the above reactions, many of us haven't gained weight, I hope it will be the same for you! Wishing you a happy and healthy journey :) [/QUOTE]
