Insulin makes people fat

Insulin may make people fat, which is related to the dosage taken.

If the amount of insulin used exceeds the physiological dose, the patient will become obese in the later stages. Insulin can accelerate the synthesis of protein and fat. Insulin secretion under physiological conditions will not cause obesity, because insulin secretion at this time is generally an intelligent regulation. In addition, physiological endogenous insulin is generally metabolized by the liver, and continued adjustment will not cause the body to gain weight. However, for the use of exogenous insulin, if it exceeds the physiological dose, it will cause obesity.

You need to be careful when using insulin. Generally, you need to add certain oral medications based on your own liver and kidney function, weight and other factors. This can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the amount of insulin used. This can avoid excessive weight gain in the later stages. If you become obese after using insulin, your insulin resistance will worsen, and the effect of insulin will gradually decrease. It is usually necessary to use drugs such as acarbose to regulate your body.

During the treatment, you should maintain a good attitude and avoid psychological pressure. In your daily diet, you should avoid eating too sweet foods and eat a low-salt, low-fat diet. In addition, you should also participate in aerobic exercises appropriately, such as Tai Chi, jogging, etc., which can consume your own fat and help you lose weight.
