[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 77119, member: 7788"] Hi Martin There's a simple answer to your problem-go on "insulin" and you will be able to maintain your weight and probably lose some, as I have. You are not taking "insulin" but a synthetic form of it. I was on synthetic insulin for 14 years and new analogues for 5 and put on loads of weight, as a result of lack of consistency in blood sugars, and frequent hypos; not to mention other side effects -feel free to read my rantings on previous postings!. I changed to pork insulin a year ago and have had the best control since I was diagnosed in '89, and have, for the first time in years, been in control of my eating and my weight loss. The only true insulin available is natural purified animal insulin. Type-1s need to wise up soon before it is no longer available-when patients have problems with synthetic and particularly analogue insulins there will be no alternative! In my experience, and from the experience of other type-1s I've spoken to about this issue is Doctors are ignoring our problems, it is never suggested by health professionals that synthetic insulins are ever at fault. Futher advice can be sought from the IDDT, their number is on their website. Good luck! Jus [/QUOTE]
