| I gained 57 pounds in the late 1990's when I changed from N & R insulins to NPH & Humalog. That weight gain caused me to develop insulin resistance. I was then a Type 1 with Type 2 symptoms. I was a "double diabetic". I am taking Avandia for the insulin resistance and pumping with Humalog. I have lost 26 pounds by eating only 150g of carbs per day and exercising at least 6 days per week. I am not gaining but I have leveled off and I think I will have to further reduce my carb intake and exercise more as well. I need to lose 31 more pounds. I willl always have the insulin resistance even if I get back to my ideal weight of 185 lbs. Work on that weight so you don't become a double diabetic like me. BTW the Avandia has worked very well for 9 years. The weight is my only problem now. Good luck!
