Weight gain: If you're borderline type 2 diabetic, Lexapro (escitalopram) may not be the main thing affecting your weight. You know that weight gain will make your Insulin resistance worse, so i hope you'll consider regular exercise along with eliminating processed foods. Eating more veggies, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats will help. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/healthy-eating-plate/.
