My hubby diagnosed as type 2 but straight onto insulin, Tresiba. Has such problems with high bg levels, plus desperately needs to put weight on.

Hi. Hubby type 2 desperate to gain weight. So much info for people on weight loss. Obv have all usual info, eat dairy, high calorie etc but all of these obv affect carbs and blood sugars. Would be good to see if anyone else has same problem

Hi. My hubby in similar position. After immunotherapy and chemo he developed diabetes and weight has dropped off him despite having good appetite etc. No answers from anyone. After 3 years, had consultant appt in Jan 22 Thereafter consultant changed appt to 2023 . No answers I'm afraid.

Does anyone use protein powders to put weight on. Looking at some, they contain very few carbs.

If my hubby ate those meals his meter readings would be very high. He exercises around same as you. Be great for his weight probs tho. He needs to put weight on.
