Yep I run hot, another side effect from diabetes, worked in a school (caretaker) where the temp is set quite high, no way could I have asked them to turn it down and freeze the other 1000 teachers and staff.. Mind you gave my boss the shudders when she looked out at me in a T-Shirt at minus 2...

I am T2 so wont comment on your T1 issues but have trained for most of my life using various methods over the years, so some tips.. I take it that when you say weightlifting you are trying to lift heavy........ training to failure or 5 x 5 training , either Stronglifts or the earlier (and...

Yep , the same as the above, 12 weeks of tailored exercise at the local council leisure center..

Could be lots of things , I still get it on occasion despite no longer being in the diabetic range, I have not got my carb book on me but butter beans are carb high I think ,which usually give me the sleepies, my be worth checking and the toms are also dodgy for some...

Quite a lot of options really, a fair few low carb options out there, personally I use myprotein diet whey simply because its good value, it does have a few carbs but I tend to use only half a serving post workout when a few carbs are not necessarily a bad thing, and it does not spike me, I...

Yep, I was having a protein shake before my workout before I tried the carb trick (not much, a slice of toast perhaps) , have tried to find the article that recommended it but no luck so far..........
