[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1316690, member: 211504"] Lowering your a1c and gaining lean mass are two completely separate goals. They can certainly be accomplished at the same time, but I'd like to hope that lowering your a1c is your first priority. As a diabetic, it's not a very good idea to "Dirty bulk." I don't care what some people say, you can't just eat whatever you want and give yourself insulin. No one is that good. I'm 28 and was diagnosed with T1 a little over a year ago. I was in the gym less than a week after my diagnosis. HOWEVER, my primary focus was learning to the daily challenges of T1. After I got that under control, I started working to "Fine tune" things more and put a stronger emphasis on getting bigger results in the gym. Bottom line: You can have a great a1c and bodybuild. In fact, I'd say that bodybuilding has been a strong contributor to my low a1c (5.4%). However, you're setting yourself up for failure if you prioritize your goals in the gym above your goals of lowering your a1c. [/QUOTE]
