Best way to gain weight

I eat around 220g of rye bread per day. This helps me to safely keep my blood sugar near normal, all the time.

I'm very slim, and always have been. But if I wanted to put on weight, then I'd simply take more insulin, and I'd eat more of everything!

Well the best way for your boyfriend to avoid losing weight, and avoiding damaging himself, is to get his BG under better control.

Then if he wants to put bulk on again he could increase his basal dose (overnight or twice daily dose). This will make him hungrier probably and he can "eat to the insulin". Which is kind of the opposite of what would normally be recommended for ideal health, but it should work to put on weight.

But he must get control of the high BG levels that are causing weight loss. That is seriously unhealthy.
