    So lemme get this right. You 'think' you're diabetic but instead of going to the doc and getting it concerned you're here asking about making gains?

    I am waiting on my bloodwork. It should take 1 week. I tried to have them donate blood from me at the same time but like my other thread says, he gave me a number instead.

    Gougn to the doc is besides the point. I dont see how I gave you the impression that I wasnt going to or hadnt already.??
    I didnt plan on only asking a question here and dismissing it after.

    I was asking because considering the SMALL possibility that I am, I would like to know if anyone else that is, is still able to progress at a decent rate.

    Also, how dificult does being diabetic make progressing for such people?

    Just a question.

    There's a thread somewhere in the member's pic forums with this huge kid who is diabetic and loving it.

    It manipulates his slin intake to grow.

    It was some (for me) crazy amounts!

    See, I was wondering if they could do that or if increasing their insulin would have som kind if adverse effect on them. You remeber the name of that thread?

    There is ways to manipulate the slin...or you can do sliding scale and take slin with every meal according to your carb intake....bro if you are...pm me and i will show you the whole deal.I am pretty much ...well put it this way some docs ask me questions for other patients.

    I get really flushed in the face if I eat a crappy meal and feel generally like shit. Thats part of why I eat a lot better now.

    All of the signs could be it and could be just my cycle. Good to be somewhat reassured that either way I can be ok.

    I'm a diabetic with fair results.

    Diabetes has actually been the push I needed to stay consistent with a healthy lifestyle ever since I found out last September.

    I got my diet and workout routine tuned in and got rid of some of the old bad habits.

    I may not be the biggest BB or have the best looking physique yet, but rest assured, my determination will get me to where I want to be as I stay focused and continue to get results.

    Hey Bigmax,

    What does your PWO consist of?

    I usually exclude all carbs but recently I have been experimenting with different fruits and oats in place of dextrose.

    Exactly why do diabetics have to avoid certain types of food and take insulin shots?

    Could one of you explain this in detail a little more if you have spare time?

    Not all diabetics have to take insulin shots. Or even pills for that matter.

    I control my diabetes solely on diet and a proper workout routine. My blood results are better than the average joe without diabetes.

    there is lots of infor here www.diabetes.org

    Fuk, it must be genetic if I do have it. I don't know how else i wouldve gotten it.

    I seriously hope its just from the cycle but the urination thing has been goin on for a long time now. Im just used to it.

    Hey, maybe if I am diabetic, this willl explain the lack of effect the liquid dbol had on me......?

    type 1 requires insulin injections. Type 2 is used to be called adult daibetes. You can sometimes control it with diet and exercise. Some type 2's take pills.

    Oh my gosh!!!!!...and you're diabetic????Type 1 is onset as a juvenile...type 2 is an adult onset which of course comes later on in life...type 1 your pancreas does not function and does not produce insulin....where as type 2 your pancreas does produce a certain amount of insulin but the body cant shuttle it in the system to automatically keep glucose levels normal.Either one can be controlled with diet, also either one you might need shots or pills sometimes both depending on weight and severity of the condition.Either way it will be your habits in eating that will make you or breake you....and of course exercise.
