My Grandpa needs to gain weight, How to help elderly gain weight?

He is 77 years old and nervous and lost alot of weight and muscle tone from stress and anxiety related issues. Doctors just want to put him on antidepressants but he doesn’t like the side effects of dizziness he says. What would be a good supplement to add weight, like whey protien or something?
He Has Diabetes, so its really a challenge. Fake sugars – nutrasweet, sucralose are dangerous as well. How can you gain weight on a healthy low glycemic diet?

I wok in extra care 4 elderly in the UK,

You could always ask a GP or Perscribing Chemist about nutritional suppliments, i know you can get low sugar ones which are suitable for diabetics.

Like i said see your doctor. It cant hurt to ask especially if you have concerns.

STEWS also help, use full fat gravy, made them for my granddad when he was ill, he gained weight =]

Hope all is well x
