"Sometimes, when you go on insulin you will see some immediate weight gain as your body finally takes up glucose. But these gains should not continue past a few days. Further weight gain is more likely a result of eating and/or continued high blood…"

Posted on March 8, 2010 at 10:57am 2 Comments

Ok am I the only one with this problem. I am taking 4 injections of insulin a day. My numbers are doing so good and I am very excited about that because I usually don't take my meds. Im trying to turn my life around and go healthy, but every day I have gained at least two pounds since I started the insulin. I worked hard to get those 14 pounds off a few months ago.

Ok so I'm a type 2 diabetic. I have been for about 12 years and I never take care of myself. I tried the pills but I would get sick and if it wasn't showing results then I would just quit. For the past two weeks I have been taking insulin shots because its the only thing that makes my sugar go down. I was suppose to be doing this for the past couple of years and haven't because i get tired of the injections daily and i get tired of low sugars and then high sugars. I want to get on the insulin… Continue

Don't know if I'm doing this in the right place. First I stuck in a blog but then noticed this area. Just getting back into TuDiabetes after a big lull. noticed you live in Beaumont TX. If i had reactivated my doings sooner, we might have had a chance to meet. I was down in your area this past February. I live in Baltimore, but make regular road trips. Right now I'm in Northridge CA with my grand daughter.
