About the Food category

This category is for any conversations about diet and nutrition for people with diabetes.

love to eat, but can’t put on enough weight to use the dexcom cgm properly. no body fat at all. i eat well, especially for a small person. i eat butter with spoonfuls of peanut butter. i eat the skin off the chicken…

anyone have any suggestions. i don’t mean to sound flip,as i know many Ds are over-weight. but this is my struggle. i have had little success using the dexcom cgm b/c i am so lean. i need to put on btw 5 to 10 pounds.

thanks, Daisy Mae
