I understand, I too am diabetic and the weight gain is so easy to happen and I am trying to lose and or maintain my current obese stature, but I think if you let the doc know of your concern and bring in your diabetic meds and let them know your fears and condition pdoc is a medical doctor as well and may be able to find a suitable medication that would not cause weight gain and not interfere with your diabetes and help you get up and going again....take care and good luck..kk101
