May be this is the case just didn't want to throw all the effort down the drain so thought better consult. Thanks a ton [emoji846]

Well basically when i started off at the gym i wasn't able to you know bench or squat with the rod alone but now im able to do bench of like 33-44-55 of 12-10-8. In order to strengthen the muscle and core my trainer shifted me to dumbbell and i did bench of 55-66-77 of 12-10-8 last week My...

While counting carbs basically we try to understand what we are trying to eat and how many carbs would the serving contain. You can get a good understanding about how much carbs a particular item has by simply googling it like for example try to google carbs in a slice of bread. Using this we...

My question: Im not seeing gains besides increase in overall strength and endurance. Is it possible that the proteins i take may not be doing much good coz of not taking insulin accordingly ? Well my gym week; 5 days a week, a day for each muscle. Challenging weight with 10-12 reps and 4-6...

Thank your for the feedback everyone Stay blessed

Hey thanks for the reply [emoji106] The micro management that you stated is it the same as carb counting ? Or different ?

How long have you been a diabetic for ? Coz in my case and many others too the dosage increases once the honeymoon period is over.

Thank you. This is what motivates me to keep going [emoji846] Stay blessed

My aim is to not be so[emoji17] but looking for some muscle on the skeletal structure, my biceps are like 12 inches and a really small chest so you know im not looking to be a "hulk" but have a little toned and developed structure. [emoji853] I hate being a diabetic now [emoji53]

Hi everyone Just trying to get a generic idea about how much bolus insulin units do people on this forum averagely take for every gram of carb eaten and whether anyone has been able to bring it down with exercise or any other similar mean. I am looking for ways to bring down my insulin...

I take insulin based on the carbs i am going to eat but i am now running a post meal high almost continuously. Can you guide me based on how to calculate my insulin sensitivity ? Is it the same as carb to insulin ratio like dividing 500 by units of insulin ? Many thanks [emoji846]

Thank you for your reply. I would take the liberty of discussing it in a little detail to give a better picture. I used to take humalog and lantus (recently switched to novo rapid and lantus) . I have been a diabetic for 4 years. I used to take 17units of bolus for my breakfast and now i see...

@ tubzi The rule of thumb is that for a diet of less than 15 gram of carbs taking insulin is not necessary. This goes pretty well for tea and coffee ( un less you add flavor to it like like caramel etc) To calculate your carb to insulin ratio simply divide 500 by total number of insulin units...
