[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2514573, member: 527103"] Please please please do not spread the dangerous theory that insulin causes weight gain for people with Type 1. My understanding is [B]excess[/B] insulin causes weight gain which may happen if you experience insulin resistance You cannot avoid insulin forever by eating low carb when you have Type 1. Your insulin producing cells (yes, your body is still using insulin even though you are not injecting) will eventually die so you will have to inject I understand, injecting insulin will prolong the life of your remaining insulin producing cells. The right amount of insulin does not cause weight gain or prohibit weight loss Many of us with Type 1 are not overweight or have list weight without withholding this life giving drug. [/QUOTE]
