I am having lada 1.5 diabetes and thyroid disorder. Have lost more than 9 kg. My height is 6'4 and weight 45. Can I gain weight? How.

Question

You need to talk to your doctor and check your diabetes status. A thorough review is essential to assess your health and know the reason for the weight loss. Get a detailed medical test (do some basic investigations like CBC, ESR, liver profile, renal profile, urine routine, thyroid profile, blood sugar - fasting, PP, HbA1c etc ). You if you have any of these reports then kindly update along with detailed treatment history. You should eat only healthy and nutritious diet (balanced diet ). You can also take the help of a dietician who can help you with a diet chart which contains various types of foods (including your favourite food) with calorie count. Learn Yoga which is safe and easy to practice every day. You can also add Homeopathy later if you have any problems. You can contact me for a detailed consultation.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given. Yes it is possible to regain weight but first and foremost is to achieve a strict glucose control. Since there is no mention of either blood glucose levels (FBG, PP and HbA1c%) plus TSH level it is difficult to give any specific suggestions. Thanks.
