How can I gain weight while managing type 2 diabetes?
Asked by Male, 38 · 2 months ago
To gain weight safely with type 2 diabetes, focus on healthy, calorie-rich foods that do not spike blood sugar, like nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil, full-fat yoghurt, eggs, and lean protein like chicken or fish. Eat small, frequent meals and include complex carbs like oats, whole grains, and legumes. Strength training can help build muscle, which adds healthy weight. Avoid sugary snacks and processed foods, as they can raise blood sugar. Always monitor your blood sugar and discuss any major diet changes with your doctor or dietitian.
