Answers:
Insulin causes weight gain!. If he isn't on insulin, maybe he should be!?

It might be that he needs a bit of injected insulins to help him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A nuritionist specializing in diabetes would be a good help!.

It's the carbohydrates that affect blood sugar levels, so you are right, he would want to be careful about the sugar and junk food!. Protein would be a good way to add calories and nutrition without adding the carbohydrates; protein has almost no carbs!. Chicken, fish, even eggs and cheese if cholesterol isn't an issue!. Also, he could probably not pay a lot of attention to the fats (as long as they are the good kind, like olive oil, etc!.)!. You don't want to overdue it on fats, but they are high in calories and do not have carbohydrates!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Glucerna makes a nutritional supplement kind of like Ensure!. It doesn't have a huge amount of sugar, but provides some calories and fat!. It sounds like he needs to visit a doctor and a nutritionist right away though! The anxiety issues need to be treated as well as his dietary needs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

can you clarify if he is type 1 or 2!. im not sure about type 2 but i know that type 1 diabetics can eat normal food that will cause weight gain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
