Hi

New to all this so all a bit of a haze at the moment.

After a bit of advise!

I'm 34 and before being told i had type one a week ago and being put on insulin i was very active through work (fire-fighter) and always in the gym etc..

I'm desperate to get back into my training, but i wanted to know if I'm able to use the supplements i used to take for training? ie protein shake, creatine, cod liver oil tablets. Forgot to ask my dietitian the other day.

Any info will be welcomed as like i say very new to all this

I'm not type 1 do can't advise but further down there is a sports and fitness heading, I do remember supplements have been discussed in there so you may find some answers there.
 
HI
Welcome. I am a type1 and have been for 36yrs, I know cod liver oil is ok, but read the ingredients on the the other items as they may contain glucose/ sugars or even carbohydrates. My son takes creatine so i will look into for you, what is the protein drink you have. Also if you go back to the gym just watch your blood sugars, check before and after exercise as this could lead to sugars becoming low, but don't stop the exercise, it's suppose to make you feel better. I will get back to you on the other stuff.
Take care

Hi once again
I have looked on the creatine drink mix has alot of sugar in it 31.9g to each serving is 43g. This is quite high so be careful.
