So, I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately.  I’ve been a diabetic for a while, but I’ve only recently gone on insulin, and it’s made me gain an insane amount of weight.  The extra weight, in turn, means that my natural insulin (and the insulin I’m injecting) is less effective, so I need to take more, which (you guessed it) in turn makes me gain more weight.  I just feel like I’m at the end of my rope, and to make matters worse, I’m in a bad position for my health.  I’m trying to look into alternative therapies, but I’m having trouble finding some.  Although I did hear that human growth hormone supplements can actually help manage blood sugar and insulin levels, my doctor hasn’t recommended that for me.  Should I approach my doctor about it?  Is it possible that this is one of the HGH side effects? 

Someone tried explaining it to me, something about how it increases muscle mass and so makes your blood sugar more effective, but I didn’t completely understand it.  Also, I’m over 18, so I don’t know if HGH is only effective when you’re younger or not.  I guess it wouldn’t be, because otherwise baseball players wouldn’t want it, right?  I think I should probably ask my doctor about it.
