I think my Diabetic Nurse has shares in Insulin. Every time I go she ups my dose or adds more tablets. I have been diabetic with tablets only for about 8 years and last year in October they decided to put me on insulin injections but didn't take me off the Metformin. I now take 44 units of insulin in the morning and 56 units in the evening plus 3 x 850 mg of Metformin. I have gone veggie (although still eating fish) over the past 5 months and swim at least five times a week.
My beef is that on my recent visit to the Diabetic Nurse when she upped me to the 44/56 (from 42/54) I once again complained (as I always do) about my weight (now tipping the scales at 13 stone and I used to be a little stick insect!!!). The stock reply (which I get regularly) was insulin will put weight on and you will only lose it if you eat the barest minimum of food and up your exercise dramatically.
Gee thanks.
