| Insulin is a very powerful hormone. We all hear about how insulin is the key hormone controlling how glucose is absorbed by our muscles. What we don't hear much about is that insulin is also a fat storage hormone. When we eat excess carbs, insulin also signals to our bodies to store those excess carbs as body fat. If you start insulin therapy and you are starting to gain fat, you should look at your carb intake. Reducing your carbs can really address this issue. Lloyd says that he has lost dramatic weight in this way limiting his carbs to just below 100g/day. You might think about trying this and see if it works.
