diabetic newbie question

**mmscrew** · 06-05-2006, 10:18 AM

Hey everyone, like the title says i'm a newbie at this, but I want to learn as much as I can before I decide what to do. I've been lifting for about 3 yrs now, and am thinking about doing my first cycle, of what I don't really know yet. The thing I am aprehensive about is that i'm a type 1 diabetic, controled with humalog insulin with a insulin pump. Does anyone have any tips, tricks, encouragement, discouragement, suggestions, etc for someone in my situation? Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot say dont do steroids , but I had a friend in your position who did not do them just adjusted his insulin and ate alot more and is huge... Insulin is very dangerous, but you know that, it also shuttles the most anabolic stuff into your muscles... FOOD.

Adjust your eating and adjust the slin to compensate and look out you will grow... be careful again.

Thanks for the replies. As of right now I am not 100% of what I am going to do, like you suggested Bigmax I'm doing lots of research before I make any decision.
