Suddenly, in the last 2/3 mo, I’ve noticed that my heart beats super fast especially after dinner.

Weight Gain On Insulin
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone had problems with weight gain on insulin (I take Tresiba)? My doctors said it is an unfortunate side effect of insulin. I work out at the gym 3-4 times a week and still gained weight. Have been watching what I eat and mostly drinking water but still gaining instead of losing or maintaining. Any tips would be appreciated.

I have also noticed that the reading does sometimes drop during the course of the night but is high again when I wake up. Also have put on weight.
