    Diabetic with a Thyroid Condition. Help.

    I am a type 1 diabetic (20 years), currently taking Levemir and Novolog. I am also on Synthroid 175 mcg (4 years). I keep myself on a very strict diet and I work out regularly, but with an increase in insulin I've stopped seeing any real results from my hard work, and now here I am.

    When I was in college and as recently as 5 years ago, I had used a series of cycles that consisted primarily of test, primo, win, and or deca at various times.

    I am not looking to gain size. I really want to tone and harden, and I was looking at something like WIN or possibly HGH. Does anyone have any suggestions for someone like me?

    I know that HGH effects thyroid and insulin levels, but what if I am already supplying them artificially already?

    Please help... Thank you so much.

    Bro ...HGH will raise your blood sugar thru the roof...you would have to adjust your insulin fast...to tell you the truth bro..Changing your nutrition and doing your cardio accordingly will help tremendously...remember as a diabetic you are more succeptible to higher bad choletsrol and high triglycerides...as well as other problems...Unless you have plans on competing sticking to compounds like primo and test and deca would be wiser...oh and i can say this cause I too am diabetic.

    Thank you for your advice! I increased my insulin recently and I gained weight as a result of it. What would you suggest for trimming the fat away and hardening up? I don't really have any interest in gaining weight. Are you a type 1? Also, this isn't for a show, but I'm going to be heading out to Hollywood to work on something, and I have to be tip top, which means losing this new found weight. Thank you for your expertise!

    Bro,the first thing is straightening your diet and nutrition consumption...then cardio sessions at the right times...once you have that stabalized then you can consider compounds.

    Hello Big, just to give you an idea, I eat a diet that consists primarily of salads and lean meats. I work out six days/week with cardio in the morning and weights at night. I am a former trainer, so I frequently vary my workouts to keep them fresh. With my diabetes and thyroid condition in mind what compound would provide the greatest cutting benefits with the least amount of side effects? Also, any diet suggestions that you might have would be fantastic. Thank you so much for all of your help. (this is my third time trying to post, if there happens to be a repost.)

    Again bro...you need to review what your nutrition is now and revamp it for the goal you're setting...make sure your sugar is stable...then your cardio will help in burning fat and keep glucose levels stable...once we have that going ..then you can think about doing a cycle...

    Thank you, again. I just read the diabetic diet sticky on the diet section and it was really helpful. I'm starting to think that my blood was more stable with an R and NPH regimen as opposed to what I'm on now. What are you taking?

    I control with diet bro...but Lantis would be your best bet...if on high carb days the novolog also known Humalog will keep your sugar in line...
