Ellie, thank you so much for your help. I hope that she can get by the doc.s tomorrow to get a copy. Yes, she does have some puffiness in the face. My mom was a type 1 and she was a very brittle diabetic. Always in and out of the hospitals as they could never get her insulin regulated. She didn't get this weight gain until about a month or month and a half after she quite getting the shots. I wouldn't worry so much if this had been a slow weight gain, but it seems that she just balloned up over night. Even her older sisters have commented on how it seemed just over night that she gained this weight. Once again thanks for all your help. I will be back when i have the test results in front of me even if i can't make head or tales out if it Sonni
