Injecting insulin by itself does not make you fat. But when you eat more food than your body needs, excess sugar will be produced in the body. One of the functions of insulin is to convert a part of excessive blood sugar into fat. This fat is deposited in the fatty cells of your body, adding to your weight.
Also, insulin controls blood sugar and prevents loss of nutrients in the urine caused by uncontrolled diabetes. As a result of better control of your blood sugar and better utilization of nutrients, your body is nourished in a better way and you tend to gain weight.
To control your weight, watch your calorie intake and exercise regularly. If you take insulin injections to control blood sugar, do not skip your insulin dose in an attempt to lose weight. Skipping the insulin dose can shoot up your blood sugar to dangerously high levels.
