[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1554930, member: 240838"] I eat vlc and take very low doses of insulin and only see positive advantages. However, there are foods that require more insulin and make me more resistant and if I ate them often I would gain weight. This has to do with the FOOD, not the additional insulin. I was dx'd at 50 years old, 3 years ago and before I started taking insulin, those same foods would have made me fat, and did. 25 years ago I started Atkins induction and never looked back. I lost all extra weight and felt incredible. Every time I've added carbs back in, pre DX and after, i e gained weight. Obviously I don't process them well. Not to mention the aches, pains, fatigue etc. ALL carbs make me gain weight. If I were to eat carbs and inject accordingly I would gain but it wouldn't be from insulin, it would be from carbs.
