I must admit I have just got back into training as i Gave...

Hi fallenstar. Very interesting reading, I am a little confused by your statement tht high sugars block cortisol As i was under the impression that when in a state of high sugar levels your body can not take in the nutrients needed and thinking that it is starving begins to break down fat and...

Hi Alex Protein shakes are excellent for us diabetics, and regularly supplement my diet with them. I would highly recommend taking one pre workout and within 1 hour post workout, you will find that you will progress much faster this way. A good protein shake should contain nothing more than...

Hi as part of my research into low carb diets and diabetes. I am wondering how much insulin people are using daily... Basal and bolus, in comparison to their carb intake in grams. I would appreciate any replies. Please post your basal/ bolus in units and carbs. Thanks. Andy

I would say your carb intake is a little to low. I would have gradually decresed my carb intake from 100g and lowered it gradually. As you have gone for such a low carb intake and have managed for 3 weeks, I would recommend sticking with it and your energy levels will come back up. As you are...

Hi kazzabon. Can I ask how much carbs and protein you are eating daily. Are you also active? Exercise etc... As you would be eating plenty of protein I would put it down to muscle gain and fat loss. This being a good thing.

I was 3.8 this morning. ave been very pleased this week as i have not woken above 4.8 this week and not gone to bed with more than 10.1

HI cookmysock. Are you type 1 or type 2. would be very interested to hear how Progain affects your sugar levels. Are you looking for weight gainers or protein shakes? As a Keen exercise and Nutrition enthusiast I have discovered it is not so much the calories that you consume but the quality of...

Jopar I hate to disagree with you there but as a participant in Bristol universities recent study into genetic diabetes, I Have to disagree with the above statement. there is no proof that risk of diabetes is increased if one or both parents are diabetic. Genetic diabetes only applies to someone...

Hi John. As a recent type 1 dad myself, don't worry about anything but making sure you are fit an healthy for that little baby. Your Diabetes should have no effect on your little babies development, and unless you have a long line of diabetics in the family, genetic diabetes is very very rare...

Hi its been a long time since i last posted. I would like to know how low people class as low carb? I am a type 1 and have been advised by my doctor to go low carb as it is a better diet for diabetics. So how many grams daily of carbs do you class as low carb. Also does anyone have any...

The funny thing is i could very well believe this to be true as just before i started grtting the symptoms of diabetes i had a severe sickness bug for a week left me unable to eat properly, and then the symptoms of diabetes set in leaving me with type one diabetes at 27 years old, this was only...

Personally i have to agree with ally, you can get most of your protein from good healthy eating, but if you are looking to bulk up then i would say from experience that protein and carbs in an easily digestible form are necessary. The down side to this is that most ready made drinks are stacked...

Don't worry i Am always easily confused. lol, must be the high sugars killing off some brain cells. I too was surprised that they didn't investigate type 1 but then i was surprised by my entire treatment by my GP. The family support is good, but my dad can be a bit stuck in his ways and seems to...

Wow phoenix you really know how to confuse someone! lol. its enough to take in without more info overloading my brain. but thanks for the info. All i Know is type 1 diabetes runs through my fathers side of the family, they all have it bar 1. Ever since i was a teenager i have shown signs but at...

Thanks for your concern, but luckily i seem to have a very good diabetic team where i am, they are keeping a constant check on me! and after my experience with my GP, i am glad of it! and i can call them at anytime, which makes me feel more at ease with my condition. I am also being reffered to...

Hi Dennis. yes i am in the honeymoon period of type 1 and currently only on 4 units twice daily. Apparently I am a very unusual case as i keep being told. As all my bloods are normal except for the BG levels, what that means i do not know? Sorry if i was a little unclear, i was initially given...

Hi I Have finally been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after over a month, was initially told i was type 2 Then type 1 when admitted to hospital and then questioned by my GP, he ran more tests and didn't believe i was type 1 and finally diagnosed by a brilliant DSN as type 1 as i walked through...

Hi Ron Mac Being A keen Gym User my self, especially weight training. I am newly diagnosed but have noticed these drinks have a profound effect on my blood glucose, as a rule of thumb i would stay clear of the majority of protein drinks as they contain alot of quick releasing carbs such as...

Hi I was wondering is it common for Glicozide to cause Hypos? as i had a few lately, usually after taking Glicozide. to be honest it scares the **** out of me as i have only been diagnosed for a week, luckily my father is diabetic and i recognised the signs and sorted it but i am finding it a...
