I am new to this group. I am 45 and weigh 300 pounds. I am on Novolin 2x day and now Humalog 3 x day. Insulin has made me gain weight and stimulates my appetite. How do I win in this??? Need some encouragement. :sad:

Feel free to add me as a friend. I am 64 and am down to 158 after losing 31 lbs on here. I take 20 units of Levemir in the morning and 5 units at night and I take Humalog when I need it before meals, but it's been a long time since I needed it. My insulin use has slowly gone down as I've lost weight and added exercise. My doctor took me off insulin for awhile and tried pills, but we couldn't find a pill that would work that my insurance company would pay for. It is a struggle to lose weight while on insulin. When I first started I was taking over 45 and 20 units of Levemir and Humalog before every meal so it is definately worth it to stick to it. You just need to remember slow and steady wins the race and your good health is everything.0
