Bodybuilder turned T1 Diabetic

maypop61

Hi, my name is Adam, I have been training and dieting for 8 years or so. I competed in several bodybuilding competitions a couple years back, that is until I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes approx. 1 year ago. It runs in my family, and was only a matter of time until I was diagnosed, but I do believe my strict diet and active lifestyle held off the inevitable for as long as I did. I work as a firefighter/paramedic so I am very familiar with the disease. The transition wasn't extremely difficult, just another way of thinking. Instead of controlling my insulin levels through diet I now control my diet with insulin injections. I have recently found that a "Targeted Ketogenic Diet" is working best for me while leaning up as oppossed to a moderate carb/high protein approach. I look forward to discussing training/dieting tips and exchanging recipes.
