HiHas anyone else put weight on since starting on insulin? I have put on nearly a stone in the last 6 months since starting insulin injections.
I'm Type 2, been using insulin just over a year, and have also put on just over a stone in weight. My simplistic way of looking at it is that before insulin, glucose from carbs/sugar was floating round in my blood, doing untold damage. Now, the insulin does its job and removes the glucose from my blood, but stores it as fat.
My diabetes nurse said that almost all people who start using insulin will put on some weight.
I am eating healthier and exercising more than I was pre-insulin, so low carb is the next thing I'm trying!
