I was overweight to begin with, but holding steady. But shortly after I sarted using long-lasting insulin, my weight started creeping up, by as much as 10 pounds so far. My diet and exercise seem to be the same. OK, maybe I've been less conscientious about my diet since the insulin has been so effective in controling my sugar, but I don't think 10 pounds worth. Am I blaming the insulin when it's all me? Additional Details2 weeks agoAppreciate all the input. BTW, I'm on Lantus pen-injectable insulin. Works like a charm! My blood glucose dropped from 300's to 100-125 after one day! And the superfine needles are pretty much painless (more than that, I generally can't feel anything).

When I went on the pump, I gained some weight, but not because of the insulin, but all of that extra yummy food that I now could eat without feeling guilty. Just try to control yourself better, it should balance out.
