hi newbie here

hello all,

I am.new here, so plz do go easy on me, lol, and iam from scotland also. forstly I am very glad to.be jioning u all on this forum, and I hope I can both learn, and similtaneously be of valid contribution.

I do not had diabetes, now I know you wil all.be thinking, then why hell u on here. well I here for various reasons. I have a degree in sportas science, so I have knowledge and sports specific interest in chemistry, and how the human body uses, insulin, from a sporting natural physiolgical stance, but also, iam currently trying to study pharmacology. although, where the real relevance comes in is my uncle had diabetes, and sadly he died of conditions which were exacerbated by his poor management, and understanding of the disease. so I therefore want to learn write about from indiviuals who are involved in sport, and make others aeware, as not enough people appreiate the complications and complexities, and prevalence of such a disease. so I hope u all accept my interest, and I very respectfull of everyone.

thanku.

it very interesting as when i competed in judo one of the first terms we learned was, recovery was paramount after training, the liver stores naturally equivalent to 70g of glycogen, this is our liver/bodys reserve store.

what happens is when an individual eats so many grams of carbohydrates for there bodyweight, this tops up the stores, however if we take in too much a bit like a fuel tanks, what happens it spills over, has nowhere to be transported/ or i should say be ustilised, therefore bodys first reaction is store as fatty tissue adipose fats distributed across the human body.

when we train the most depleted time our body experiences is post activity ie training, thats why you hear a lot of people say, god i feel sick lethargic, this is our body crying out for food ie carbs, fast acting high glycemis index, glucose being purest form. complex being lower on the scale. So the bodys tissue muscle stores cells are needing replenished, i know if do not eat right away, i sweat, feel sick tired, clinically this is my body warning me to eat, but what i was thinking this is what happens to diabetics, but there body does not have the mechanisms to deal with it, therefore it goes from a normal secreting pancreas/ liver to a problematic one.

If say an athlete/ active indiviual can increase the most anabolic anti catabolic hormone in the human body ie insulin the recovery and food we ingest is utilised to its fullest potential, and recovery is both optimal and rapid.

but after all this complex dialouge what does indiviual lantus/detimir/humalog/novo do in the human body, hiw do you know which one you need, and what re the main differences between long and short acting. how can you lessen carbs without hypos etc.
