[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1841668, member: 429870"] I can't promise that building muscle will help everyone but it certainly helped my friend. He was diagnosed with T2 and his GP told him he would soon have to go onto insulin. This terrified him, and he joined a gym and began resistance training. I don't know if it was his doctor who told him this might help, but certainly his GP has been amazed by his test results ever since, this despite the fact that he is not really eating low carb, just a version of the famous Plate. I should say that he has been very consistent with his training. My friend began his training when he was already almost 60, but he has been able to build a very nice toned, muscular but not over-muscled body. I met him at the gym, where I too do weight training. I can't say if it helps my bg, as I think my main problem is insulin insufficiency rather than insulin resistance, but I can tell you that at 76 I have arms to die for!!! Sadly most women think that after a certain age flabby arms are inevitable. It is not true! [/QUOTE]
