Insulin and weight gain<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people who are on insulin therapy notice an increase in their weight. While weight gain can sometimes be related to taking insulin, it is still possible to manage your weight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insulin helps to remove the glucose from your blood and helps it enter the cells. As a result, there is a decrease in the glucose levels in your bloodstream, which is what insulin therapy aims to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you are on a high-calorie diet and not exercising enough, a larger amount of glucose will get accumulated in your cells, more than the cells need. This excess glucose that your cells do not need will then get stored as fat, resulting in weight gain.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you had uncontrolled or prolonged diabetes before starting your insulin therapy, it is possible you were losing weight, or your weight was stagnant, despite eating a healthy balanced diet, or the regular diet that now causes you to gain weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have very high blood sugar, your body is unable to properly absorb the nutrients from your food. However, once you start your insulin therapy, your body will finally be able to properly use the calories and carbohydrates from the foods that you are eating. This can often result in weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, while it may feel that taking insulin is making you gain weight, it may be helping your body reach its normal weight range.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"class-h3\">2. Medication and weight gain<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain medications that are part of your diabetes care can also cause some weight gain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Sulphonylureas:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These medications stimulate the pancreas into producing more insulin.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, there is more insulin in the body to remove glucose from the blood and put it in the cells where it can be used for energy.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it is not used up, this excess glucose gets stored as fat.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;&lt;div class=&quot;col-lg-12 cta-block cta-mob col-sm-12 col-xs-12 manage-diabetes-cta&quot;&gt;\n                    &lt;div class=&quot;cta-body&quot;&gt;\n                        &lt;div class=&quot;row&quot;
