Much appreciated. I'm going to bulletpoin... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />1. Window of eating dinner - Varies between 7-9pm. Will try to make earlier.2. Sleep - Last tracked sleep was 8 hours 34 mins using Samsung Health and S3 watch - my new toy! Actual sleep time 7h12m. Motionless 3h45. Light 4h30m. Actual sleep time 7h17min. 85% efficiency. This seems to be an average for me....although I dont wear the tracker every night...plus 8 month old baby sometimes wakes in the night/early morning, creating a break in sleep.3. Whey and Casein - This has been my routine for the past year or so using organic grass fed 100% whey/casein protein powders. No flavours or anything else. When I first started taking these I would militant with taking my BG readings...remained perfect averaging 5.7 so I concluded these had either no effect or a positive one.Mornings or pre-workout: 400ml water, 50g Whey protein isolate, 20g Oatbran (will remove now), 25g Dextrose powder (will remove now) 1 tblsp coconut oil, 1 tblsp peanut butter, 1.5g Taurine, 7.5g L-Glutamine, 5g cocoa powder, few blueberries and about a 5th of a banana.Post Workout: Same as above  however I take 5g Creatine Monohydrate with about 100ml Apple juice.Pre-bed (to prevent catabolic state): As above, however I use 30g Micellar Casein Protein, not whey and do not add dextrose or oats.I am going to drop the rolled oats for breakfast and return to full fat natural yog. No more rice for a while either.The rest of my meals are either Keto or VLCHF.Alcohol - Virtually none. I have lost the taste for it and it makes me feel awful these days...I have had a single shot of vodka in the past 3 months.It all gets very confusing when adding bodybuilding into the equation, and obviously, a diabetic bodybuilder cannot follow the same nutritional rules as  a non-diabetic as carbs, both simple and complex seem to be be a staple for them and a problem for us!My weight training is pretty good - mainly compounds. I lift heavy and usually go hard (love a good beast mode session!) for my weight (65kg). I do splits twice per week ie chest/shoulders/legs/back and full body twice, or if I am suffering DOMS in another area. Minimal cardio - I call it sprint swimming - about 30mins per week (so as not to raise cortisol and go into muscle atrophy etc ). I walk about 8 miles per day, so I get plenty of cardio.Basic lifts105 kg squat102.5 kg deadlift62.5kg BenchI'll keep everyone posted and THANK YOU ALL for your comments and assistance!</blockquote>
