[QUOTE="Scarlett91, post: 2267961, member: 437109"] About 10 months after I was diagnosed (which was 2017) I was at my heaviest. I am unfortunately overweight and have been for as long as I remember. My dsn explained it may be likely that I would put on weight as I had lost alot of weight a few weeks prior to diagnosis and that from her experience insulin does have the tendency of weight gain. Because I was still getting to grips with it, 1) in some cases I was eating more - mainly my evening meal and 2) because I was entirely sure what I was doing I was over injecting. I have found as my control has got better - through reducing that evening portion and having a better understanding of my diabetes I have lost weight without trying. As you said you have been trying more recently to control your diabetes so it could be your body getting used it. If its something you are going to continue with once lockdown has finished, then hopefully you'll find what works for you and your body will start to regulate. As another reply said, maybe contact your diabetic team for extra support but don't be too hard on yourself xox [/QUOTE]
