Hia Natalie, my weight did creep back on after starting insulin. I went from 8 1/2 stone to 12 1/2 stone over a period of about 4 years and stayed there for another 10 years. It was only a major diabetes set-back and, after that, the realisation that things had to change that I started to try and lose weight. That was through eating a lot less, going on to a pump so not having to snack to much but the biggest thing was cutting back drastically on carbs (and as a result the insulin I had to take). Looking back I must have been eating over 300g carbs per day easily. I now restrict that to 120g max. I have also cut out alcohol on a regular basis and only have a few glasses of fizz if I'm out in a party or something. Have been 9 1/2 stone for the past 2 and a half years so it's definitely sustainable and works for me. All the best.
