Bodybuilding and Diabetes

Kaz,

There are type 1 bodybuilders who are members on the forum so hopefully someone may post soon. Take a look at the following site that offers advice to insulin dependant diabetics:

6 years ago i used to do it to a degree, but at that time i was on old pork insulin, around 1530hrs the long acting would take dip, at this time i would have a 2 hour work out (4 times a week) this then also lowered my sugars and i was then able to have a good tea, though protien heavy and would use high protien drinks, sugers used to be fine.

now i'm old and on lantus
 
Yep - I do regularly (apart from since Christmas as I got Swine Flu and still don't feel well enough to start training hard again).

If you want any tips / advice etc let me know what specifically you want. I'm no expert and will just give you advice based on my own experiences.

Hi,

Soz - just seen your post - not sure if you're still interested lol! I'm a bodybuilder with type 1 diabetes hoping to compete in April. I'd be happy to help if I can - feel free to email me at [email address removed]

Cathy :)
