    T1 diabetic Insulin info for fat loss & muscle gain

    5,10
    176lb
    Type 1 diabetic 21yr

    Been natural for last 2 year but just wondering how I can use my insulin novo rapid to my advantage for fat loss & muscle gain?

    I am on insulatard (slow insulin) twice daily 12iu morning & night & novo rapid 1iu every 10g of carbs.

    I am following a low/moderate carb approach to my diet with higher protein & fat

    Any help or links to how to use my insulin to my advantage would be great thanks

    You would just increase the carbs and insulin post-workout. That said, I don't think its a good idea to start messing with your insulin doses when you actually need it to live, since you may increase your insulin resistance. Also, you can't afford to overshoot your carbs to be safe like the rest of us, so the carbs:insulin ratio will be trickier.
