A member asked:
Will insulin alone cause weight gain i have maintained a healthy weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: Weight gain is common with Insulin use. It may stimulate your appetite. However, the same rules apply with or without insulin...Intake and output (exercise) make the difference...Less in and more out will cause weight loss...More in and less out equals weight gain...Talk to your doc and a nutritionist/dietician..
