| Jacobsam.....I agree that diabetes makes you gain weight. I told my doctor this and he didn't agree or disagree. I told him that for years before I was diagnosed, I was so tired that I always wanted to sleep. I didn't eat that much, but no matter what you eat, if you go to sleep right after you eat, you're going to gain weight. I have no idea how much weight I gained because I don't know when it started.
By the time I was diagnosed, I was really overweight....probably 60 pounds or so. If I hadn't been tired all the time, I'd have burned more calories and my weight would have stayed the same.
The medical community wants you to believe it's the other way around....being overweight can cause diabetes. Maybe in some cases it does, but in other cases diabetes causes weight gain.
