A member asked:
Does insulin cause weight loss? my wife has been on insulin detemir 100units/ml prefilled pen and has been experiencing weight loss.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hi. No, insulin does not cause weight loss. Very poor diabetes control can cause weight loss. Skipping insulin can cause weight loss. Many other illnesses can cause weight loss. How is her diabetes control? Any other signs of illness like loss of appetite, night sweats, fever, etc? I hope her diabetes is well controlled. If you can give us more info, maybe we can help. But it's not the insulin.
