ANSWER: Hi there,

It is good that you want to take everything in your hands and I really want to help you doing this. However, you haven’t mentioned your age and the exact type of your diabetes and the diabetic treatment you are following.

With this information, it will be able for me to provide you specific options on how you can gain few pounds.

Moreover, your age is important for me, because at certain age, the development of malignant process is observed. Some of those malignant processes are leading to fast loss of weight and I want to exclude such things.

  • In addition, other hormonal changes in your organism, despite diabetes, may lead to weigh loss. As such hormonal changes are observed mainly in young women, but they cannot be excluded in men, therefore, I need more information from you regarding this.

  • Now, the best way to gain some weight is to make adjustments in your diet. However, these adjustments have to be made according your treatment, which I don’t know.

    The best and safest way for you to gain some weight is to start eating meals, which are containing more proteins than usual.

    The consumption of proteins will increase your weight, so you will not have to worry about anything, because they are not leading to changes in the glucose metabolism.

    First, you must check for the diseases and conditions I suggested above; next, prepare with your dietitian or doctor a proper menu to increase weight. Once more, be sure you do not suffer from any of these problems.

    Hope it helped!

    REPLY: Hi Bhagwant,

    As what I can see from your blood sugar results, there is no problem with it. It shows a slight increase of blood glucose, but it all depends on what you have eaten at your meal. Therefore, I suggest to watch what you eat, avoiding high carb foods, fatty ones, etc.

    In addition, please include exercise in your daily routine, and avoid smoking and drinking alcohol to maintain your blood glucose within the normal ranges.

    Another point is to clarify if you are still wondering to increase your weight?

    So, if you are 49 years old, please make an appointment with your doctor to determine if you have any of the following diseases or conditions:

    - pancreas problems (cancer or pancreatitis)

    - hormonal problems (focusing on thyroid, pituitary gland, or any other endocrine problems)

    - prostate problems

    - colon concerns (cancer, polyps, irritable bowl syndrome, etc.)

    - liver problems (hepatitis, cancer, etc.)

    - any other infectious diseases.

    Please ask your doctor if you are having any of these problems to resolve your weight loss concern.

    At last, if you do not have any of the above-mentioned conditions, please watch your diet for lack of nutrients.
