Hi
I've had type 1 diabetes for 28 years and have recently started weight training, in 5 weeks I've gained two kilos of muscle and increased my metabolic rate by about 4% as a result I'm having lots of hypos last one was quite severe and I had trouble staying conscious but managed it.
Read lots of threads on bodybuilding and diabetes but rather than dietary advice I'd like to know if improving my basic metabolic rate means I need to adjust my long acting insulin shot?
