Crazyfool:
I keep reading everywhere that insulin makes one gain weight. However, I am not. I do have some sugar spikes. Perhaps I should keep adjusting my doses? Whenever I check online they just mostly focus on how to lose weight while on insulin and navigating this information is getting progressively more cryptic. Does anyone in here have related resources they could point me towards?

If you value your ability to continue breathing, do not do this. Ever. You will end up getting sick and possibly losing weight through limb loss, dehydration due to frequent urination, or muscular atrophy.
If you want to gain while on insulin, you first need to make sure you are stable first. Once that's squared away, there are healthy ways you can gain, like eating more high-fat fish, nuts, or avocados. These are less likely to cause blood sugar instability than say donuts and ice cream.

Also they didn't specify if their insulin dependent (type 1) or insulin resistant (type 2)
That makes a big difference
Not as much as you might think for the purpose of this situation. Have you ever encountered a diabetic - type 1 or 2 - that started rationing their insulin? It gets bad. It gets even worse if they aren't mindful of their intake.
If they are on insulin, their blood sugar levels run high. Hypoglycemia can cause a host of short and long-term complications. Some of these complications can lead to hospitalization and irreversible damage to the body. Doing that just to gain weight is impressively idiotic - especially when there are safer ways to achieve this.
