[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2690548, member: 372717"] I have some issues with weight gain, but as a T1 since aged 8, I have no idea whether these are related to my insulin use, as I'd be dead without it. And with some insulin resistance and a T2 father I am sceptical as to whether the use of endogenous insulin is the cause. I would agree that some insulin users have issues with weight gain, as do some non insulin users. But there are insulin users posting on these boards who don't have issues with weight gain, so it's certainly not an issue for [B]all of us[/B] using insulin. Personally, though I would like to be slightly lighter, I have successfully lost 10% of my weight by a combination of lowish carb and watching the more egregious calories (hello cheese and alcohol).. I am very happy to have insulin available to keep me alive and my blood sugars under control. [/QUOTE]
