I am a type 1 diabetic from Birth. I know there is not a lot of information out there on high intensity training just recently got my blood work back and as the Dr said I am healthier than 95% of the population so if anyone needs help with training carbs and insulin manipulation don't hesitate...

I think from the whole situation I am obviously going to discuss with the relevant authorities but I believe @AndBreathe describes it best. Perhaps I am putting the pressure on myself. I think the bodybuilding will be put on hold from April 2016 onwards in order to achieve my qualification and...

:D then you understand the pain of working and studying and getting paid astonishingly little.:) Keep telling myself look at the bigger picture. over and over again.haha

I too also prepare my meals as you can see I am a competitive bodybuilder in my spare time (what I have). You are paid to work 6.30am to 6pm you would be astonished at my wage as a trainee chartered accountant. (Miserable) lol I need to make up 7.5 hours it is then up to my superiors as to...

That's the thing even the person telling me I need to work up my time if I go low or need to eat is one of the people I see regularly standing talking for periods of time. Now don't get me wrong I don't know if she is making her time up for that. I am very rigid in the fact I come to work I do...

Hey Mal1978, I pride myself in being a competitive bodybuilder diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 2 years old. If you want any help or advice fire away and I will try shed a little light on your worries. Kind regards James

haha no. Obviously if I don't mention that I have gone low and taken 5 or 10 minutes to settle myself they would be none the wiser however as I have to account for every 15 minutes to charge to clients in the day you can see my dilemma. I then freight over overcharging for example and stress...

I also forgot to say my employer also asks me to make up my time for diabetic related appointments. P.S I have 2 a year and if I need an appointment for general health of course I would work up my time no questions asked.

I work a stressful job (Chartered accountancy practice) at the beginning my diabetes didn’t affect my work life much at all I was able to keep on top of my work and charge my 7.5 hours a day 5 days a week. However as I progress the stress of work has meant my control of blood sugars is not as...
