Weight gain making BGL worse - can meds cause it?

I think simply by being a type 2 diabetic that that in itself will be contributing to weight due to your insulin not doing its job.....

its the faulty insulin that put the weight on .....i couldn't say if the cocktail of drugs your own is having an effect, it may be....

its much easier said than done but cutting the carbs down should help.....in fact this is the hardest part of diabetes, for me anyway......i too am overweight, but this is due to too many carbs and large insulin doses...

Hi, I'm not a diabetic!
But I do have a blood glucose disorder.
This means my hormones make me susceptible to weight gain when I eat certain foods. What this means is I have to be careful what I eat.
The problem I have is that I use my glucose really quickly but my pancreas keeps producing insulin. So insulin is really good to turn glucose into energy, but too much is really bad because the excess insulin turns into visceral fat and more fat than the body can cope with.
With diabetes, because of insulin resistance, there is too much glucose, and a surplus of that also turns into fat.
So getting the balance right is important to gain control of your blood glucose levels and weight loss.
I cannot say to you, to stop taking this or that, you will have to speak to your GP.
What I would say is reduce your carbs, reduce your plate size, speak to your GP and exercise more if you can. This will help if you do it properly, it does work.
Two years ago, I was nearly seventeen stone, now, because of my lifestyle, I am eleven and half stone (ish).
You will have to find out from your GP what effect your meds will have!
