It does not matter what insulin you're taking. What matters is the amount of calories and/or carbs you take in and what you do to offset what you eat. The insulin does make it a bit harder to loose the weight; but, it's purpose is to control your glucose level. If you take in, say, 2500 calories. Then you have to burn more than 2500 calories in work, exercise, worry, stress, anything, to loose any weight. If you only burn 2500 calories, then you maintain what you have. If you burn less then you gain weight. I, too, am in that same battle field. It's and uphill battle, in any direction.

My brother thought he had problems as well with his weight because he was a Diabetic, but he was in great shape. He died this last week at the age of 20 for not taking better care of himself. Take it from me, you can worry about your weight, but do not dare skip a meal or go into Diabetic shock if you are a Type 1. You will be six feet under if you do so. Think that I am making this up. I wanted my brother to have a future, but his life was cut short because he did not eat in time. He took his insulin and let himself get too low. If he had food and drinks in his car, he might still have been alive today. If you are a Type 1, take care of yourself and do not let yourself get too low.

Injectable insulin will make weight loss harder for most of us. Don't give up; it'll come off slowly. Very slowly, for some of us. Whatever, don't stop using your insulin, that'll only make things worse.

A diabetic can lose weight and still maintain their blood sugars within normal limits.Ask your doc or his dietician for a weight reduction diet.
