Does insulin course weight gain can anyone tell me
Hi I answered on your other thread.
I'm with Jen92 - last 20 years my weight has only fluctuated by 5 pounds - usually in the winter months as I'm less active at that time so I gain weight. I basically control my weight thru the quantity and types of food I eat combined with exercise. It seems to be the best approach.I cannot say for sure or with any scientific fact but I know for me having been on insulin for nearly a year my weight has stayed stable, having gained 1lb from the day of diagnosis however this is just my own personal experience.
Yes pleaseYou mean this thread? http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/type-one.120397/#post-1457752
Would you like me to merge the three threads you have regarding insulin & weight gain @Kevin_squires_ ?
It may help with more replies to your question?
Yes please
That is not how insulin works for me. I am more likely t be hungry when I have high BG as I do not have enough insulin t break down the glucose into energy. When my BG is low, I don't feel like eating ... which is a problem when I need to treat hypos.My understanding is insulin lowers your sugars making you more hungry so tend to eat more. Unsure if the actual insulin itself makes you gain weight. Hopefully someone knows a bit more than me
