dear sir in my opinion.as per height and weight ratio you are having a healthy weight.if you increase your weight you are going to increase your insulin demand in body which will make you to use more drugs.by doing so you will exaust your pancreas soon and land up in taking insulin injections.try going for exercise which will improve your muscle mass and you will feel better.just increasing weight by accumulation of fat is not a good idea keep away from it......regards
