Borderline Diabetic

[castlecorfe]

Good afternoon, this is my first post as I'm new to this. I'm borderline diabetic and can't seem to put weight on, my osteopath said I look skeletal. I'm wondering will protein shakes help? I eat 3 meals a day with no grazing as don't want to set off the diabetes and have to live on medication. All advice gratefully received...

HiHi, T2 Diabetes, personally you either are or your not, you can see a dietitian to help you maybe put weight on or off, I'm T2 Insuline dependable, I take tablets for it plus I have multiple injections, if you feel that you need a proper diagnosis, you should be able to see the Diabetic specialist nurses. Maybe read information on the DiabetisUK.org maybe read up some more info to learn more about the disease.

Did you have a blood test and if so, what were the results?.

Don't worry because you will be looked after.

If you put on weight you want it to be muscle, but maybe you just need to accept your current weight, How old are you and what is your BMI (look it upon google)?
