Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maco" data-source="post: 2346036" data-attributes="member: 465882">Just wondering if we have any type 1s on here that are serious gym goers? I train 6 days a week as a minimum, sometimes 7 depending on how I feel. Recently I’ve cut out all cardio training & im focusing on Bodybuilding type of training. I’m working alongside a PT who controls all of my training schedule as well as my diet which changes week by week. Currently running a carb cycling diet which changes from a low carb day, medium carb day then a high carb day. With good control & accurate carb counting I can control my levels extremely well even on the high carb day.3.5Yrs ago I was 17.7st, at the minute I’m 12.7st with a body fat % of around 18%. As predictable as it sounds the gym really is an escape for me which keeps my physically &Mentally fit. During the lockdowns I seriously struggled with gyms being closed. In regards to my blood sugars while training I manage to keep them under reasonably good control with a slight raise during training.Would be nice to hear other people’s training routines & how it affects there daily life with diabetes.</blockquote>
