[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1481971, member: 196960"] I think most type2s see their own producing insulin as the reason for excess fat on their body. Myself I've always been mostly heavily muscular. Pushing weights heavier that most the men in our local gym (until recently). I have to agree insulin affects your body make-up. I'm more fat than muscular now due to only been able to walk in pain but no other exercise. Whenever I was on insulin for pregnancy I never added weight. Only once I stopped insulin did I add weight and get higher bgs. I miss my stronger years. I could carry very heavy weights and sustain 12-14hr work shifts. I was one strong mama. Not so strong physically I do worry about carrying this heavy fat body around. Neither wonder my back is in agony with bulging disc/s and scatica. Spasms don't help either. Yes I've lost a lot of muscle mass to fat. If I could tone up and gym it, I'd be laughing again. Insulin is currently helping me lose weight on my current low carb, low fat diet. I wonder what insulin will do for me when I'm forced into malnutrition mode? Far less than 600cals, I believe! [/QUOTE]
