[QUOTE="halph, post: 2408856, member: 544234"] Hello everyone, nice to meet you all. I was Diagnosed 2 days ago at the age of 39 having had some bloods taken. Sent to hospital and was 21 and immediately put on insulin, right there and then to bring me down. It really took the call from gp for penny to drop on the signs I’m diabetic, lost mass on chest and arms the past few weeks, have felt a little fatigued in afternoon video calls at work and drinking/peeing tons (I drink lots anyway so that perhaps didn’t signal alarm bells) I’m a very active sports player and coach so this diagnosis is going to come with some real changes to my training regime and diet which is what I find myself thinking about most. no doubt everyone has felt the same as me, walking in that clinic, half a slap you in the face with a diagnosis which knocks you for six and next you are shown how to jab needles in your backside, and the thoughts of “this is your life now” finishing off the slap that really wakes you up to what is happening. Im feeling a real mix of emotions these past few days and got a lot of comfort from reading some of the posts here. I felt I needed to join just to mainly be able to seek advice on how to get best performance from my sessions while using insulin and carbs. I’ve seen there are quite a fair few athletes in here so hopefully I’ll gain some really good advice. Again nice to meet you all, I’m wounded with this news, but thankful that it’s came so late in life and I got to enjoy all those reeses peanut butter cups without needing insulin so far in life. ( Every cloud) other positives I hear insulin is slightly anabolic, so hopefully some gains are coming eh? [/QUOTE]
