New to the forum and I've searched tons of threads. My situation is a bit unique and not covered. Also, I just realized my username appears as "TINY", my intention was for it to read "Type-1 New York".

Age: 38
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 190
BF: It's high, near 30% according to my scale. Not sure how accurate they are.
Diabetes: T-1 Very well controlled, 6.1% A1C. No issues with strict diet and all that.
Testosterone: 250 in early 2016 and 170 as of March 2017. It's just getting worse-and-worse.

My doctor wanted to prescribe me some testosterone. She mentioned a few things, Pregnyl, HGH, and Novarel. Either way, I decided to go through my brother-in-law that has been doing this for years. I don't know why, but I just did it my way.

He gave me Testosterone Cypionate and Anavar. I did not start the Anavar yet. I took my first shot of Testosterone Cypionate last Tuesday, 500MG. All went well, I feel no different yet. I think it takes a few weeks? The Anavar I have is OxanPrime and it's got the verification label on it. No idea if that means anything.

Because of my diabetic condition, I am VERY low carbohydrate. Generally about 60G daily, unless I feel I'm going to go low at night, then I eat an additional 30/40G at night to keep myself stable. But, 90% of the time it's 60G.

I'm only consuming about 1,600 calories daily as I'm still trying to lose a bit of weight. I'm at 60P/30F/10C, give or take.

I read that with Anavar your calories should be high? Is that true? Wouldn't the higher calories defeat the purpose of my trying to shed some pounds still? Or, should I not focus on that? I wouldn't mind staying at the 190 assuming I could get rid of my fat, but, at my height that might be a bit to big. Not sure if I want to walk around that way. I'd rather be around 175 or so.

Should I hold off on the Anavar until I reach my desired weight and get my calories back up to maintenance?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Any other T-1 diabetes out there that have used Testosterone Cypionate and Anavar? Are you still alive?
