[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 560267, member: 102150"] I'm not sure if You are Type 1 diabetic or a young Type 2? What age you are now? Do you test several times a day with a blood sugar meter? Your weight problem is not likely to be from having the wrong kind of insulin, and changing insulin is unlikely to help. You need to take less insulin and eat less food. Taking more insulin than you need makes you eat more than you need. Gradually reduce your insulin dose, and reduce the amount of food you eat, in particular reduce carbohydrates. Check your meter frequently to make sure your blood sugar stays good. Your HbA1c is pretty good, but you are taking too much insulin and eating too much food because of the extra insulin. Never stop taking insulin entirely if you are Type 1 diabetic. Reduce it gradually to a level that provides good blood sugar with no hunger and no weight gain. [/QUOTE]
