[QUOTE="Susiespearish, post: 969055, member: 124531"] My own story goes some way to supporting this doctors theory .My mother was a diabetic in her final years and she had never been a pound overweight in her life .She was a gym teacher . I have just stopped taking Novamix Insulin due to a rapid weight gain that my doctor tells me is common on Insulin . I was diagnosed in 2013 and have had very poor results in control .Previous to this I only started to have weight problems six or seven years ago when I developed high blood pressure .I was given meds that seemed to whack the weight on .At that time I was very active at both work and at home .Over the past years I have felt constantly thirsty ,tired,and never seemed to feel full .I don't eat junk food ,never have .I have a cholesterol of 2.7 and that hasn't changed much in years .In fact in reality my diet hasn't changed very much either .Certainly not enough to explain away the constant weight gain I have suffered over the last few years .I have a plateau weight that I refuse to go above at any cost and I hit that weight two weeks ago .Since stopping the Insulin I literally dropped close on a stone in those two weeks .I had been prescribed Victoza but it just wasn't for me .Walking around with constant nausea was just not happening I'm going back on to Metformin along with my Januvia . I have to say I expected uproar from my GP about giving up on Insulin but instead he seemed to completely understand .My BG has remained very high through all combinations of medications and although I expected a massive difference on Insulin it didn't materialise ! I was still getting daily readings of 15mm/27mm.Low carbing is clearly just common sense but whilst it slightly improves my figures it's very hit and miss .All of this does suggest that there is something going on that's hidden .I have sticks for my urine and they show my urine is constantly flooded with glucose despite me avoiding sugars of all descriptions as much as possible .Frankly I'm just fed up of it all . I shall continue to fight the weight gain in the hopes that it will certainly help and yes i do have other health problems but having just taken yet another 2 hour after meal reading of 24 It feels like banging my head against a brick wall .
