[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2152846, member: 196960"] I'm my family experience some antidepressants add weight. If you can get talk therapy it can help some better. OK I'm treated medically as type1 with type2 severe Insulin Resistance. So we hv been treating both. I'm on mdi and just had a bariatric op to lose currently 5st in 4mths. It is refreshing not to crave food to satisfy my hunger. I was on over 300units of insulin but 30units today. Metformin on IBS can be tricky but not impossible. I'm coping better than I thought I would. It's a fine line for me just getting over an infection. I hv suspected gallstones or fibroid too so on painkillers. They help with spasms and pain from my back/pelvis and neck. One painkiller relaxes my muscles so I can sleep. Could you be over stressed too? Any thoughts on aided relaxation more? Cortisol can be dumped on us which increases are need for more insulin. Myself I hv to reduce insulin to treat the cause. Otherwise I still need same amount. Be careful though. This should be only done under medical supervision. I'm allowed to reduce as I've been managing insulin injections for 13yrs now. You should Always consult with your team before reducing insulin. We here are not medically trained so cannot advise on levels of medication. Seek out your Endo and ask if you can get support whilst you try to reduce your insulin and don't do stressful exercise. Gentle and very often works better once you hv reduced your units. Dog walking or walking gently for miles can also reduce cholesterol. Changes which can reduce meds. Take medical support first.
