[QUOTE="ert, post: 2300053, member: 504712"] It is true that if you have more calories than you need, then you gain weight. But on insulin it would appear that I only need 1000 calories to maintain weight and 800 or less to lose, which is tough going. Of course, we are all different, but still, in general, using insulin one does find it easier to gain weight, and I can eat a lot fewer calories as a result of it, once eating 1800 calories at 63 kg with the same exercise regime, but no insulin. Again, I've never skipped insulin and had my blood sugars rise with a HbA1c of 5.3% that's not an issue, which you've raised again. Eating fewer carbohydrates means less insulin, but with propper dosing to maintain BS's. [/QUOTE]
