[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 927192, member: 43498"] I'm not sure if you mean she is going to put you on insulin now or in December? Going on insulin doesn't necessarily main weight gain, as I understand it. There are ways to reduce this while using insulin. On the other hand, if you can reduce your carb intake enough you might not need insulin. Constipation and indigestion often go hand in hand. Are you still having problems with these things, and is the gaviscon doing enough to relieve the indigestion? You may need to take something for the constipation, like ground flax seeds or fibre like psyllium (metamucil). Also make sure you are drinking enough water, especially if you take extra fibre. I didn't do enough to treat my constipation years ago and that has made it worse for me now. [/QUOTE]
