[QUOTE="smidge, post: 832649, member: 29301"] I don't know whether this has any effect on weight gain, but the biggest difference between injected insulin and endogenous insulin is that endogenous insulin remains very tightly controlled in the areas of the body it is supposed to be in; injected insulin has to traverse our entire bodies to get where it is needed. This is not natural. It keeps us alive, but there are bound to be implications to having insulin in parts of the body it is not meant to be. I expect one of those implications is weight gain - although I have no evidence. The best bet is to use the minimum dose we need - and minimising insulin healthily means minimising Carbs and, to a lesser extent, protein. Smidge [/QUOTE]
