How should elderly diabetic patients adjust their diet to gain weight?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my father has now been diagnosed with diabetes, and his weight has been continuously decreasing. The elderly cannot withstand this, so I want to help him gain some weight. What kind of diet can help elderly diabetics gain weight?

Doctor's answer:

Diabetic patients want to gain weight, diabetic patients have been losing weight, because long-term poor blood sugar control has led to a state of hyperglycemia, which has caused fat consumption and resulted in thinness. Therefore, in this case, you don't need to use dietary enhancement methods to gain weight. As long as you control your blood sugar, especially post-meal blood sugar, within the normal range, you can gain weight quickly.
