If you actually are diabetic and concerned about weight gain caused by your diet and insulin regime, consider an "eat to your meter" strategy. If you're eating a high-glycemic meal and then injecting plenty of extra insulin to bring your blood sugar down, consider where that extra glucose must go -- into the cells of your body. If you're not actually exercising hard, those cells have little choice but to turn it to fat!
An eat-to-your-meter strategy involves experimenting with lower GI foods and testing your blood sugar 1 and 2 hours after mealtimes to keep the peaks low, minimizing bolus insulin doses at mealtimes. See related link.
