please help me to increase my weight.
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!
