I am diabetic & thin. My age is 31 years. My weight is 38 kg. I take glimperide since I am allergic to metformin which doctors normally suggest. I want to increase my weight. My sugar level is normally 148 fasting & 200 2 hrs after lunch. My glimperide dose is morning 2mg & at night 1 mg. Please advise for weight gain.
