Hi @relph , I'm not T2 and I don't do weight lifting, but let me tag @Mbaker for you, who does if I am correct.Hi everyone, I have been type 2 for the last 13 years. I have never taken meds as I had my numbers under control within 3 months of diagnosis by cutting out sugar, carbs such as rice, cakes, fruit. Recently I have noticed my fasting numbers have been in the 6 to 6.4 range and I can't think why other than I have recently taken up weight lifting which I do twice a week. I am 68 years of age and have been diagnosed with Sarcopenia. Has anyone else had the same problem and does it get better. With thanks and appreciation for your response/advice.
Thank you @gyongy33 for this information. Your BIL does so much and I am glad it is paying off for him. I too take all the above supplements however I do have trouble eating so much protein as I am vegetarian. I may have to change what I eat to help things along. Thank you again and best wishes to you.@relph, my B-I-L has Sarcopenia, he is 62y, and he has to eat high quality protein food in every meal, like salmon, eggs, tuna, beef, but NOT ultra processed sausages or ham.
He got some light steroid tablet (sorry, I don't know its name), and he takes vitamin D3, fish oil (Omega-3), and creatine supplements. Mandatory the exercise every day, there is not day off. Weights, walk-jogging, swim, but in his case, the physiotherapist prefers the bodyweight exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, etc.
Diagnosis was in last November, and the 6 months control says the process is stopped, probably will reverse. Of course, rest of his life mandatory the exercise (as possible). He is not diabetic.
I do hope that you will be better, too. But I don't know if diabetes influences or not the sarcopenia.
I don't know the plant-based protein drinks, but I'm pretty sure there are some for vegetarians, too. I found one, "Ensure Plant-Based Protein Nutrition Shake" and there are different flavors. I think you can look around for better prices or other brand name. Since I'm a new member here, I can't send you a link.Thank you @gyongy33 for this information.

Are you able to state the method you are doing, including sets and reps. Does your glucose go to your normal levels later on.
