Hi

I can understand your concern

I would like to assure you for good health of your son.

You have not mentioned his blood sugar levels & which medicine he has been prescribed. This info would have helped to give specific advice regarding his proper blood sugar control.

Your son's wight is 128 lbs and height is 5 10, His BMI is 18.4 which is slightly lower side of borderline.

But body wight certainly increases in diabetic patients as blood sugar level gets in control.

Hope this helps

Wishing for good health of your son.

Thanks and Regards
