Question
I am an 82 year old female with
type 2 diabetes.
I am active and get around real well, but I need to gain weight. What foods
are high in carbs?
Answer
Foods in the dairy group, such as milk, yogurt, and ice cream are
significant sources of carbohydrate. Finally, fruits and fruit juices, as
well
as most vegetables, are sources of carbohydrate. Most desserts also
contain carbohydrate (cookies, cakes, pies, puddings, jello).
Why don't you make an appointment with a registered Dietitian (RD) to help
you work out a meal plan to meet your weight gain requirements?
slb
You don't say what your blood sugar control is. If you cannot gain/maintain
weight, this could mean your diabetes is out of control, and it's time for
a change in your treatment plan.
