@Sean01 I understand if you don't wish to discuss this bit but what do you know about 'supplementing' and diabetes and how safe if at all is it?
Supplementing is important. After years of rattling about like a jar of pills:
I don't eat fruit so vit c can be an issue but I do eat a lot of tomatoes and red peppers and chillies
Mineral supplementation is not an issue: I eat tons of green veg especially spinach
B vitamins: I'm eating meat every day
Eggs and mushrooms are packed with so much more than a hand full of pills,
Protein shakes - still looking for one that will be compatible with being diabetic but most contain laods of carbs to help get the protein to where it is needed.
Forget energy drinks - that's just a sugar hit.
I've got no issue with amino acids.
I've lost 90 lbs since Oct 2015 - I don't need fat burners
As for the stuff that the younger generation are taking these days - good luck to them I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. (I'm 50 and I'm a biology graduate who never stopped learning,.
Summary: eat well. Use your brain and live a long life.
Every now and then I brouse through the internet to see if the people I used to know are still alive. The list is getting smaller.
Trophy winning days may be over, but my life isn't, not by a long shot.
