Emedinews:Makesure: A diabetic patient was gaining weight.


Situation: A diabetic patient was gaining weight.
Reaction: Oh my God!! Why was insulin not considered the cause of weight gain in him!
Lesson: Make sure that one considers drugs in the possible list of causes of unexplained weight gain. Medications are a common cause of weight gain and obesity, in particular insulin, sulfonylureas, and antipsychotics.
