I have been insulin dependant for 47 years and always overweight. Over the last 2 years have managed to lose 4 stone and still wanting to lose another 2 (sorry still in old weight measures) but have now started to gain weight even though I am eating the same as I did when loosing it. Exercise has increased and BMI levels down to lowest ever.
In my opinion my weight loss slowed and I started to gain when Monotard & Actrapid stopped being available and I then had a short time withHumalog 25.
Due to control going from 6 to 8.4 I was advised to go onto 4 a day and in February this year was put on Novorapid and Levemir. Pre meal dosage amounts of Novorapid vary from 10 - 16 depending on severity of early morning hypos but the Levemir stays at 50 units per evening.
Are these insulins helping to prevent weight loss :?: Are there other insulins which can maintain my control and be more condusive to helping with weight loss. :?:
