Hi all, I have started doing weights, when I went to the gym a while back I did a mixture of cardio & weights, but after injuring my foot in sept there is limited cardio I can do on it so stick to weights now.

Normally I try to eat & inject 1-2hrs before the gym so I still have insulin working although my bloods may still be raised. I normally find my bloods drop faster durning the exercising & for a while after, although they have stayed stable a couple times. Just looking for some advice on what people normally do when doing weights with food & insulin?

Thinking about having protein shakes as well but want to try & get it all sorted as it is at the moment.

Thanks!

Thanks noblehead :eek:). Had a little look, didn't see too much so need to dig a bit further, just at work at the moment though ;o) haha.

Will see if I get any tips back from anyone else as well.

There are a couple of topic son this on the forums. May be worth a quick search. There's also the bodybuilding.com forum topic for insulin dependent diabetics.
