[QUOTE="Cricket_Balls, post: 1924523, member: 412592"] Hi Clacksman I share your frustration (I'm 6'4" tall, slim all my life, very fit, 84kg, BMI around 22.5) Since being diagnosed a few years ago so much of the advice has been about losing weight. 1 of the things that really annoys me is when diabetes gets mentioned on, say, news programmes & the reporter states something like 'linked with being overweight/obese' that I feel like punching the TV, or better still the reporter (I'm normally very easy-going & not inclined to violence - honest guv!) Assuming there isn't 1, it's a shame the Diabetes Forum, which does provide lots of good info/advice, doesn't have a 'sub-section' for those of us who don't want to lose weight/want to increase weight I've found quite a few low carb foods (not cheap tho') that have a fair number of calories &/or protein in them which help me Suspect there are more knowledgeable people around than me Good luck! PS an interesting 'nom-de-plume' btw [/QUOTE]
