I'm diabetic, is it safe to gain little more wieght, i'm 71k with 179cm hight
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: While it's safe for you go gain a small amount of weight, every pound you gain can add to your Insulin resistance, so being as lean as possible helps to keep your blood sugar normal with less medication.
