General starting guide is about 12g carbs to 1unit. 12g:1u. Try that, and then change the dosing according to sensitivity. Sometimes you'll find yourself more sensitive towards insulin and vice versa. But you'll eventually learn your traits. I hadn't done a finger prick for around 7...

As ever thank you. Life got a bit hectic this week so missed gym twice... But looking in the mirror...holy hell I haz glutes the fat is shredding!

If you're on insulin you dont need a strict diet. Just a normal balanced one with matched insulin will be fine.

Worked out strenght issue. Got on scale...ooo err lost 2lbs since stopping Nurishment lolol. Defo need to up calories/protein just a tad. 10 stone is a bit too light imo. Goal is lean 12.5 stone. Long way to go...but my work pants are way too big now. Same woth shirts, too lose around waist...

Bebo321, that's seriously an awesome post. Very informative. I've ditched the Nourishment for Protein powder + oats. I felt it badly today, had a bad day, was caught off guard and had a hypo around 16:00. Didn't work out well, as a friend noticed I'm very irritable, and being somewhat mean...

I post my experience you say its nothing you've experienced. I say I wouldn't expect you to, or any other person for that sake, unless you're in the field documenting experiences. You reply to state you're in the field, great. Then you say I made a generalisation despite me stating it was my...

Perhaps its your reading style, and you overlooked these two sentences. "So, op, ill say what Citalopram did for me, and how it affected diabetes for me. Please note my experience may have been one of the rarities, upon reading it just seems I was in that category of the 1 in xx/xxx who have a...

That's great, and unless you're in the research field or a medical practitioner who works with SSRIs I wouldn't expect you to. This is exactly why we share our experiences. Im neither saying op should use or not, simply stating my experience.

And to play devils advocate here... Actually the pair of you have a good point. Chemical imbalance, yep can be remidied by medicine, but also through cognitive behavioural therapy. Which is techniques used to alter the way one thinks. Neither is wrong or right here. I've had a stint with...

Started today. No Nurishment. Feel hungry especially after hour and a half of shadow boxing, punching/kicking kick bag. Followed by 30 mins of cycling/sprinting/jogging. Will try keep it clean and lean when I get in. Get chiseled physique or die trying :-)

Oh yay Gym memes

May be it's worth having a chat with his Psychiatrist and seeing if there is something they can do in terms of counselling/workshop to aid with needle phobia/why testing is needed.

If it helps, my right rotator cuff is pretty worn and achey, doing an intense shoulder workout followed by a lot of rapid punching the following day hasn't worked well. I can't afford to have an injury right now, summer is coming up, need to be jacked by then. Jest aside, dude chill out, just...

Cheers. I've gained another 1.5lb, but I'm physically stronger and don't look fatter. Time to clean up the diet a tad I think, so will defo be looking into lowering carbs. A can of Nurishment is breakfast for me, it has 50grams of sugar, I can do without. Main reason I go for it is due to...

Yearly for eye check up. Yearly for review @ GP via diabetic nurse. Although my sugars have never been wildly out of control bar first diagnosis where I had a blood test a month in, another 3 months in, then 6 in. At which point my GP was happy and now it's a yearly thing.

Mud - Defo fat. If I tense my abs I can feel them so they exist too! Omnipod, thanks, I've uppsed my game at the gym, more compound exercises more frequently, on days where it's not compound happy I'll do early morning cardio. On top of that, I've got two martial arts session a week, which is...

Out of interest, how do you get on with building muscle mass on keto? I tried it once, gave up pretty sharply as food bills were soaring.

Keep at normal levels and a pack of Glucose sweets. For most people the sign of a hypo is pretty obvious, although when you regularly run at good levels, 2mmol may be the point where you feel it. I've been down to 1.4mmol before, it feels like having ADHD; although with that said that's a...
