So, you're currently taking basal bolus with a dpp4-i. For some reason you're the doctor has not put you on metformin or other medications. Your weight is bound to go up since you're on insulin. I'd suggest you to get your blood workup done and visit a nearby diabetologist/endocrinologist to help you better.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. There is no mention of current fasting, PP glucose levels and HbA1c%. Therefore, no idea about the control at present. You can look at protein powders that give 60 to 80 % proteins and NO SUGAR in them. There are quite a few. Thanks.

Possibly after the evening dose of insulin and a longer interval between dinner and lunch, by the early hours of morning your blood sugar might be going below normal without your knowledge while you are asleep. At this the internal mechanisms of body release anti insulin hormones and the morning blood sugar in fasti...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
Actarapid is a human insulin with rapid action. Apidra is also a rapid acting insulin but the compound is different. Actions are similar as both have rapid action and that stays for 4 to 6 hours. Both are used to control after food glucose rise. Dosage can be similar. Thanks.
