Can anyone help?
I’ve never been able to gain weight as a type one and I’ve recently been super self conscious about how little I am (5’11 132lbs) I’ve recently started taking my blood sugars way more seriously and have gotten my average down to around 140 mg/dl.
My biggest concern is I am absolutely stressing about what diet to eat regarding gaining weight as to keep my bg in this range. I’ve been eating quite a low carb diet around 40 carbs a day and I genuinely don’t know how I’m going to achieve a calorie surplus of about 2,200 calories a day, while also staying relatively low carb. I’m also not even sure if low carb is sustainable for type 1 diabetics as I’ve seen conflicting results online.
My question is, can anyone that’s also bulking give me any advice on a diet or meal plan? I’m not opposed to eating the same foods daily I would really just like to gain weight and keep my bg in a good range.
