I am a type 2 diabetic. I am taking lantus 2x a day and humalog 3x a day. Is it normal to gain weight?

Answer 1

Insulin can have the effect of increasing your appetite some. At least that is what my Diabetes Doctor has told me. Some weight gain is normal, however not a lot is. You may want to check in with your local dietitan and set up a meal plan to go with your diabetes, or to alter your meal plan, if you feel like you are gaining too much weight.

Answer 3

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 4

The only 2 drugs that are shown not to cause weight gain in diabetes are metformin and byetta. Insulin does cause weight gain. That's why type1's lose weight before diabetes, because they don't have insulin to tell the body to store glucose and fats and proteins. I'd ask your doc about metformin or byetta, though since you're on insulin, they might not be ideal.

Answer 5

My specialist told me that Lantus does cause weight gain, which is why I wasn't prescribed it. Judging by other answers there is clearly a difference of opinion so I suggest you contact your diabetes advisor and ask for the correct answer.

Answer 6

Insulin does cause weight gain. I did not know this until my doctor told me. But diet and exercise are the only answer to diabetes control, no matter what others tell you.

Answer 7

I am a diabetic as well. On oral medication. But I do think they can make you gain weight. Ask your doctor about bayetta. It is a syrum from the helo lizzard. She has lost 15 lbs . Takes it with her regular insulin. swears by it.

Answer 8

I too am on Xanax and Valium is the closest element to that. i might say (without being a doctor) that sure that sounds real. Xanax is greater effectual with .5 or one million.0 mg and the traditional for Valium is 10 mg. wish this enables. I actually have a cousin in regulation who makes use of Valium for long term utilization. must be ok. Take care.

Answer 9

well you can but you have to watch what you are doing. yes that is not too much its cause you must hve ups and downs alot if you are checking your blood 4 x daily you are ok. you need to get on diet though. in the morning you eat like couple eggs, 1 bread, one juice and one small meat (less then 3 oz) and then lunch same type deal. you need to stay away from carbol a nd not eat much rice, potatoes eat leafy stuff and greens fruit and stuff like that. stay away from juices and that sugar. eat lots of fresh things and you can do it but you have to start writing it down and need to see nutricianist.

Answer 10

you don't gain weight from the insulin, you gain weight from not controlling your dietary intake appropriately, and not getting enough regular exercise.
