[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 830783, member: 102150"] That's not true though, and it's not what's being stated. Not all people who use insulin are overweight, but (with very rare exceptions) all people who are overweight are overweight because of insulin. It is impossible to be overweight without insulin. Insulin is the only way that fat gets deposited for storage. But... semantics. As noted, the real culprit is an excess of both insulin and carbs. In the case of T1s it is often an excess of prescribed insulin causing the consumption of excess carbs to avoid hunger. [/QUOTE]
