How do you gain weight with Diabetes? I used to weigh 128 lbs. Then I got diabetes 2 about a year ago. I lost 22 lbs. Since then I cannot gain any weight. I eat very well, in fact I am hungry most of the time and I snack.
I am on Avandamet 2mg/500mg in the morning and Metforman 500mg in the evening.
I try to just eat heathy food and no sugar or candy. I do use Slenda in small amounts. I use Whole wheat flour and if any pasta it is whole wheat . I eat some fruit for desert. All kinds of nuts for snacks.
My morning BS is always some high 135-150. Before meals it is lower. At bedtime it is high.
I have only been on meds for the past 4 months. Meds have helped some, but not as I would want them to.
Anyone know how to gain weight? I am a very active person in my early 80's and maybe when you get to be my age and get diabetes you just lose weight and never will gain any????
God Bless!
