Hello! Ive been a diabetic for 4 years and im currently on nova rapid and a 24hour jab using a solo star pen. Im also into weight lifting which I do regularly. (3 day split and 2x cardio a week).

Hope everyone is well~
 
Hi there,
I am new to the site, but my son is 21, has been type 1 for 7 years, is also on novorapid and lantus solostar. He loves lifting his weights, but also drinks lots of proteinpowder. Wondering whether this is ok to do, whether you have any info on taking this when diabetic?

Yes its fine. As im only 18 my mum was worried and asked my nurse and its fine. I only have 2 protein shakes a day with 2 scoops of powder in each. I try to get my protein from solid foods as much as possible. Does he have a strict diet? ( 6 / 7 meals a day)
 
Thanks for that. I guess he has quite a strict diet, eats a lot of chicken, has regular meals etc. He takes protein drinks before and a fter his workout. I was worried about the extra protein putting a strain on his kidneys maybe? But if your mum has ok'd it with your nurse then it is reassuring.
