what i said is literally the reason

period.

When you take insulin, glucose is able to enter your cells, and glucose levels in your blood drop. This is the desired treatment goal.

But if you take in more calories than you need to maintain a healthy weight given your level of activity your cells will get more glucose than they need. Glucose that your cells don't use accumulates as fat.

Insulin-associated weight gain may result from a reduction of blood glucose to levels below the renal threshold without a compensatory reduction in calorie intake, a defensive or unconscious increase in calorie intake caused by the fear or experience of hypoglycaemia, or the 'unphysiological' pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles that follow subcutaneous administration. There is, however, scope for limiting insulin-associated weight gain. Strategies include limiting dose by increasing insulin sensitivity through diet and exercise or by using adjunctive anorectic or insulin-sparing pharmacotherapies such as pramlintide or metformin. Insulin replacement regimens that attempt to mimic physiological norms should also enable insulin to be dosed with maximum efficiency.

In this cohort, weight loss had already started at the time of diagnosis and continued until insulin was introduced. The weight patients reached after the introduction of insulin was highly correlated with their maximal weight before diabetes. Onset of weight loss before the diagnosis of diabetes has rarely been observed, even in obese type 2 diabetic patients and even though type 2 diabetes may remain undiagnosed for as long as 912 years (2). Long-term studies of insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes suggest that the weight such patients reach is asymptotic, and that most weight gain occurs during the first 3 years (3,4,5). The results of the University Group Diabetes Program (6) were unusual because the patients treated with insulin did not gain weight. In that study, the patients in the placebo group lost weight.

it literally is that they don't exercise enough to burn off their calories that their cells are now properly handling, which is how weight gain works.

between me, and you and adjl, which of us actually need insulin therapy and have been actually educated on what it can and can't do, with actual accredited studies that support their claim?
