[QUOTE="lgadsden, post: 31565, member: 11469"] I have been diabetic for some years controlling it with tablets. I used to take Gliclazide and Metformin. Two months ago following my yearly check my doctor chamged me to insulin. Although it took a few weeks to reach some stability I am now taking 30 units twice a day. However, the down side is I have gained one and a half stone. I was quite thin and a bit of weight was quite good to add on but enough is enough. When the doctor stopped my tablets she described the Metformin as fat tablets and told me I didn't need them. My mother syays that when she first went on insulin she took Metformin as well what I need to know is if anyone else does before I visit the doctor at this rate I shall be like the Mitchelin man at Christmas. Does everyone on insulin gain weight? :roll: [/QUOTE]
