Guest guest Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Most diabetics who gain weight after starting on insulin is because they are getting too much insulin and are eating more to get their blood sugars up. Also, too much insulin makes you feel hungry, even if you are not having a low blood sugar. Are you seeing an internist or endocrinologist? _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Sharon Lash Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 5:02 PM To: diabetics Subject: Insulin question My doctor told me that I could gain weight from using insulin.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Along with the extra food (usually carbohydrates) needed due to low blood sugars if you routinely take too much insulin, I'm pretty sure insulin is a hormone which can increase the potential for weight gain.

But she doesn't recognize him. Can he stay out of her way? Will she suddenly remember? The past may be the past, but lives in the present.
