[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 679311, member: 138639"] I don't think it will effect your sugars at all. To bulk you only need an extra 200 cal per day, in perspective that's just eating a 2 scoops of protein powder mixed with water if you wanted which is ~50g protein and around 200cal with around 10g or carbs. Or maybe eating a power bar each day. 200-500cals extra a day is nothing really, most people don't track their caloric intake and probably are already eating that much over maintenance without even knowing. You need to sit down and work out how many calories your body actually needs each day to maintain the weight you want to be at, and eat 200-500 over that. If your already over that weight then it's likely because you already exceed that maintenance number so it would likely require no or little eating change. Small changes like this are easy to handle, especially eating low carb. Carbs are what we have the biggest issue dealing with so cutting down the amount should only make our sugars easier to handle. So cutting wouldn't be any harder then without diabetes, and bulking at 200-500cal extra should be as simple eating and bolusing like every other meal. I can't see why there would be any issues with either. I've been doing fine so far. [/QUOTE]
