Hi, may I answer your health queries right nomy brother was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, we didn t see it coming he has always been thin and active, however 6months ago he started loosing weight, come to find out when he finally went to the hospital his blood sugar was 467(wow). My brother doesn t have insurance and has been placed on meds that are controling his levels 114 this morning. Now we find the problem is that he is just painfully thin, how do we get his weight back up to normal without increasing his glucose numbers.
