in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Hi all, I am a 21 year old male who currently weighs around 53 kg and is 175 cm tall.

I have just started using this website today, I have been struggling to put on weight ever since i was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 last year in April. Since then I have only been losing weight and I really could do with some tips or advise on how to put on weight so I can have a healthy BMI.

If there is anyone out there that could share some foods/tips or anything to help gain weight then please, please could you share it??

Thank you in advance!

    Often when blood sugar levels are high, people find that they lose weight. One of the first steps to gaining weight when you have diabetes is to make sure that you have good blood sugar management. Have you asked your physician for a referral to a registered dietitian who can help you figure out an eating plan to both manage diabetes and help promote healthy weight gain? ~Lynn /Glucerna
