    In diabetes type 2, it is very important to avoid gaining fat. Most of the people affected by type 2 diabetes are overweight. If you want to gain weight, you need to gain muscle mass rather than fat because gaining fat can adversely affect the condition and may increase your blood sugar levels again.

    • Doing cardio coupled with lifting weights and eating a healthy diet can help you achieve results. 
    • Avoid taking products rich in sugar content and increase your protein intake. 
    • Opt for options like eggs, chicken, mutton and green vegetables. 

    For a proper standardised diet, consult your nutritionist for proper assistance. 

    To keep a check on your health, monitor your blood sugar from time to time and get your routine blood tests at least once every three months.
