[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2453441, member: 372717"] While I agree that diet is key I certainly notice, as a T1, that I need less insulin if I am doing a lot of exercise. Not entirely convinced whether resistance training is better or worse than cardio, so I do a bit of both. I certainly feel stronger and healthier as a result, though maybe that is just psychological. And I think it's supposed to be good for bone density, which as a female of a certain age, I should probably appreciate. AS someone who was hopelessly unfit ten years ago I can now see (small) muscles in my arms, (under the fat. :)). And though the weights I lift may be tiny, they gradually increase. And it's a lot easier to live life with muscles (albeit small) than without. [/QUOTE]
