Hey,
I have type 1, and want to start lifting weights, I went to my local supplements shop for some protein powder which helps in muscle repair and growth.
The man recommended me to get a high carb protein powder as my goal is to bulk up.
Lets just say there would be 40g carbs in every shake I have, would it be safe if I just take 4 units of insulin everytime I drink a shake? As that would cover the carbs, and as long as I kept my blood sugars within 4-7?
Thanks
John.
