[QUOTE="Weird Science, post: 463546, member: 92916"] Hi all, First post bar introduction, type 2 for about 8 years and been on insulin ( insuman comb 25) this past year, being on insulin at first amazed me because my BG was so low / normal after years of struggling that I saw it as a license to eat what I felt like ( sweets & cakes etc) having now found my belly to be getting huge and my frequent bloods not going below 9 decided to stop all that and be sensible again like I was trying to be when on Metformin only. I only have 4 units in morning and 16 at night with 1000mg Metformin both times, but have cut out all potatoes and bread from my diet and totally amazed at my readings and subsequent midrift, along with daily exercise it really is shifting. So yes from original question I put weight on, but it can also come off as well, all be it harder to take off, great forum btw and great community spirit it seems, wish I had been bothered to find this ages ago :) Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
