[QUOTE="townie 1962, post: 308405, member: 33113"] I have been a diabetic for 14 years now.I am type 2,I was told my pancreas failed when I went into heart failure after a virus attacked my heart when pregnant.I am on 4 x 500mg metaformin and 60 units of lantus and 3x16 units of norvorapid. I am struggling with weight gain ever since I have been put on insulin 4 years ago.I haven't actually put on any weight for 2 years but have blown up 2 dress sizes.I am the heaviest now I have ever been,even when I was 9 months pregnant I didn't weight as much as this.I am 15 stone and only 5 foot 3.I have never felt so depressed and unatractive.Following a divorce this isnt how I expected to be, as I have always watched my weight.I also have cardiomyopathy which is under control, I am on beta blockers for that,and cannot exercise excessively.How much exercise should I be doing to help and what kind?I dont seem to have much appetite since being on metaformin.I just feel bloated. :? I have bought the book Carbs and cals. Is it possible for people to loose weight on insulin ,reduce their size and feel less tired?Ever since I have put on this weight I have felt tired, my blood sugars are usually about 1 above what they should be when testing. Please help me sort this out, as my diabetic nurse is not much help.Every time I have gone to her she has increased my doses and I have said i am sure I should feel better when I am on the right doses, but I feel so sluggish and worn out and fat.Help! :?
