[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 378577, member: 8110"] [b]Re: Overweight vs underweight... which is harder to deal wit[/b] Even for non-diabeics, it's harder for skinnies to gain than tubbies to lose weight. It's even more difficult if you have to restrict your carbs. I suspect that being slightly underweight isn't too dangerous and to try to build a bit of muscle could be an answer. I've no idea of your Mum's age, but I do know that even we older folks can improve fitness. My local gym is full of over 50s every Monday. My own gym class is all made up of over 50s, and range up to over 80s. I don't know if anybody is trying to gain weight, but we did have a member who wanted to. Sadly, he died early this year. He was in his mid 80s and had kept his weight up since cancer surgery. If exercise won't help, by building muscle, going on to insulin might be the answer. hana [/QUOTE]
