does anybody know a good way to put weight on? found out i had diabetes 6 months ago hate the way im looking atm really want to get to 13 stone im 11 now. go to the gym 3 times a week eating 4 times a day, have my very good weeks with my blood sugar but then i can have very bad weeks.
 
Eating carbs while on insulin you will soon put the weight on. Be carful what you wish for though. I was 13 stone and have had to cut out carbs so that I can lower my insulin intake so I can loose weight.

I'm underweight too and struggling not to lose anymore but eating low carb makes it difficult but now that I've discovered that I can make blueberry muffins which have ZERO effect in my BG, things are looking up. I made my first batch at the weekend and admittedly in accidentally forgot to add the butter but they were very edible and the results on my meter two hours later proved them to be a success in my eyes. However my partner needs to LOSE a couple of stone already so I can't have them both in the house together :-) .........
