Dear sir
The most known side effects of insulin usage is
1. Hypoglycemia
2. Weight gain.
most commonly people will go through these side effects. So prolonged usage of insulin causes weight gain. But if renal function remains normal then it wont be a problem
so dont worry. since you are on losartan it is indicated to check potassium always.
Thanks
