Diabetes and weight gain (or at least maintain)

[Frenchda]

Good afternoon all

Recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and am to following a low carb diet.

I am also returning to the gym, cardio and Stronglifts 5 x 5. It is not an issue at the moment but from experience (squat was at 1RM 195kgs) I know as it gets heavier it will get tougher.
Currently weigh 84kgs, 6ft tall, want to gain 4-5kgs as I am too skinny (IMHO) at this weight. Question is how do I gain a little weight, get some early morning fuel in and what to bloody eat!

Thanks in advance.

Depends to a certain extent on what medication you are on as some give rise to weight gain anyway
