In patients with type 2 diabetes and recent acute coronary syndrome, a body weight gain of 5% or more is independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality or heart failure hospitalization.

If you have diabetes and heart disease, gaining more than 5% of your body weight is a warning sign of heart failure. It likely means your body is holding onto fluid. Monitor your weight daily and seek medical attention if you see a rapid increase, as this may require medication adjustment for your heart.
