A member asked:
How do i keep insulin from causing weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sugar and Insulin: I would hope this question is because you are new to diabetes and have not gone through the management of diabetes classes. Weight gain is from calories and sugars, not from insulin. Are you exercising? Eating low carb diet? Low calorie? If so this is the best way.
