[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2283059, member: 21149"] Hi. First is the weight loss making you too thin as weight loss to bring you into the right BMI area is OK. It sounds like you may be burning body fat thru lack of insulin to 'burn' the carbs. T2s will often have excess weight and insulin may not work well due to insulin resistance. It's possible you are losing that insulin resistance thru weight loss and the insulin will have more effect. It does sound like you aren't injecting enough? Note that insulin itself doesn't cause weight gain but it enables the body to metabolise carbs and those can cause weight gain. Have you reduced the carbs and increased fats and proteins? What insulin regime are you on i.e. mixed insulin or Basal/Bolus? [/QUOTE]
