    Low dose test cycle

    Hello. I'm a type 1 diabetic. Good control too (a1c 5.3%) and my bloodwork is perfect.

    Anyway, I've been working out for a few years now, and I'm doing good, but I want more.

    A friend of mine suggested low dose test maybe 125mg a week?

    I just want to make sure my body can handle it, and that I can still keep control over my diabetes. Don't want to get any problems you know.

    So anyway, I was wondering if there's any studies on how lowish doses affect the body? I've read some studies that says test increases your insulin sensitivity, but then here at the forum some say it decreases...

    And what about primo, would that be better?

    thats like how much test you produce naturally

    age
    height
    weight
    bf%
    diet summary/# meals per day
    years lifting / workout split
    cycle experience
    pct/estrogen control knowledge
    goals (size/cut/strength/speed etc...)

    without asking bout your history Id say 125 is pointless. Id start with 3-400mg per week. you want to feel it dont ya???? No expert but Id say it will not effect your diabetes.

    As you are a diabetic, it wouldn't be far fetched for me to presume you are fat, would it?

    Well he had type 1 so we have no way of knowing. Post up your stats bro so we can better understand which cycle would be best for you and if you are really ready for AAS.

    I'm 28, did a couple of dbol cycles back when I was 19-20. Stopped working out for years, then got back into it a few years ago.

    I got type 1 diabeties this year, so you're not born with it. Since there is no family history, they believe it's a virus that caused it with me. I'm 190 cm tall, and about 90kgs in the morning, used to be 100kgs, but after I got diabetes, I've lost about 12cm around my waist and increased strenth by a lot.

    I eat 6-7 times a day, depending if it's a work out day or not. I work out 4 times a week. Eat mostly low GI stuff, so it's easier to control the blood sugar.

    Don't take any supplements, did before but get better gains without it. Just lots of vegetables, fruit and potatoes/pasta/rice type of food. Only supplement I take is intramax.

    Goals are to get better, and to see what kind of effects it has on my blood glucose, that's also why I can't do HGH or clen (after reading these forums).

    Thanks for the help so far =)
