I am on Hummane Insulin 50/50 36 in the morning and 26 in the evening. The Doctor also prescribed Gllumillin 500 before breakfast, Glucobay M25 before lunch and Zatin 500 before dinner.
My blood sugar levels dropped, but I'm feeling weakness. My weght increased by 10kg after using insulin and my stomach size has also increased.
Kindly suggest if I am on correct medication(s).
Medication react in different ways in different people. All medication has side effect. Some people take medication and eat what they want!!!, this is very dad.
If you Google "Hummane Insulin + weight gain", you may find your answer.
Only a medically qualified person can answer your question!!!
Yes, high levels of insulin promote weight gain as excess energy is stored as fat. That is one of the reasons LCHF diet which reduces the insulin demand helps lose weight.
Regarding the suitability of any prescribed medications, you should take advice from a Doctor, may be an additional Doctor for a second opinion, if you need.
I assume you have type 2 diabetes? Did you consider changing your diet first before going for oral medications and insulin? Usually , medications should be the last resort.
Weight gain is a normal side effect of taking insulin. Insulin doesn't cause obesity or "generalized" deposits of abdominal fat.
There is no drugs as "Gllumillin 500" and "Zatin 500". Make sure that all words are spelled correctly. Please specify the generic names of these medications and the name of the pharmaceutical companies.
Glucobay (brand name) Acarbose (generic name) is an oral medication used to help people with type 2 diabetes control the amount of sugar in their blood.

Insulin is a fat storage hormone. This is the reason, whether diabetic or not, people are advised to consume low -glycemic foods... unless and until they are in very high need for glucose.
That being said, always try to follow this pattern:
1. Don't consume high glycemic foods.
2. Don't mix carbs-fats together
3. Always eat fiber with your meals.
Dear friend,
Insulin will increase the weight.
The other medicines you have mentioned except glucobay are not clear. Kindly check the spelling and let me know. We will have a further discussion on it.
Being an anabolic hormone Insulin increases weight. As your glucose become normal ,the sugar that was going out through the urine will be retained by your body which increase weight.
Insulin has the tendency to retain water which increases the way.
You got other medications like..DPP4inhibitors, GLP RA, SGLT2 Inhibitors which could be prescribed according to the need and the financial background.
My aunt was on insulin injection, she used to say I need to take water tablets!. Insulin and water retention?
Was she on blood pressure medication, sandybrown ? Some people on blood pressure medication have to drink more water since the blood pressure medication is a duretic.
Heart and diabetic medication!
Okay! 
Sorry for the delay in replying. Just got back from dinner.
What was the name of the medications?
This was few years ago!, I have no record of medication.
sumrao, insulin is an obesogenic hormone. That is, it promotes obesity. This is well known. Yet it is prescribed because in modern medicine we have no other way of bringing blood sugar levels down to normal. The sad thing is that even after giving insulin, even after enduring the side effects, the tissue damage in the body continues to occur because the root cause has not been treated.
Instead of taking all these medications, it would be wiser to get your condition reversed and become healthy again. But do this under supervision.
Kindly let me know how to reverse this.shall I switch to Ayurveda or any other system?
I am a vegetarian and control my diet to bare minimum and stopped all sugar items and taking all precautions necessary
you are on lot of medication. Can you please explain the list of medication your are taking and why to start with.?
What are you trying to reverse?
sumrao, you don't need any 'system'. You just need to become your own doctor, do your research and follow a healthy lifestyle. You can reverse your condition and become truly healthy again.

You need to consult you doctor?
There are no medically qualified person here.
There has been a lot of discussion on food as medicine. You need to look at cutting out all sugar and eat small quantity of fresh fruits, nuts and fresh veg.
In fact there is. A medically qualified person who specialises in reversing diabetes.
Please check your private messages on HU. It’s okay!😀👍
I am happy for you there is a medically quailed person here to help you.
Insulin is obesogenic. That is, it promotes obesity. So do the oral medications have undesirable side effects. They lower blood sugar levels but they do NOTHING to stop the development of complications. Type II diabetes is reversible. Patients get off all drugs, sometimes in just a week. Why not do some research, take your health into your own hands?
Thanks
