Fatties and Insulin Not too long ago I received a call at my job from a diabetic patent saying that her insulin made her hungry causing her to eat her way from 300 pounds to 400 pounds. She's in her 50s and I'm thinking she might have overused the insulin. Looks like blaming insulin is another form of fatlogic these days. And yes she is a Type 2 diabetic and we all know how that goes with fatties.
