    Wow, your post about hypo is interesting. I am type2. During my training on how to inject myself at the hospital, the urgent care Doctor told me "If you go low during the night while your sleeping and you wake up to find you're low - you get one chance to correct it. Don't go back to sleep again." It was also recommended that I be careful on the amount of insulin while combining with exercise. I made that mistake once, too much exercise. I woke up and was barely functional - checked my Gl level. It was 3.8. scary. My Gl maintenance level is between 8 and 11. So really drastic drop. I don't use an insulin pump, I inject it twice a day. Nice to hear other diabetics experiences.

    I too am an insulin pump user too...you find that with the use of insulin makes weight loss a little more of a challenge? Have you suffered hypo episodes?

    It definately makes it more of a challenge. I don’t lose much weight if I’m not very strict on my carb intake. The more carbs I eat, the more insulin I need.. I’ve found that eating 50-80g of carbs a day was most effecient for me. My weight wasn’t budging for two months when I ate over 100g of carbs (even if I was eating the same amount of calories) Insulin is anabolic, so that’s probably the reason why. After my first 20 pounds I had an awful hypo episode while I was sleeping. If my boyfriend hadn’t reacted and given me something I don’t know what would have happened.. So be careful! I feel like a healthier way of eating and weight loss has increased my insulin sensitivity like hell. I’m probably using like 1/6th of the insulin I did before. Blood sugar should be reeeally closesly monitored during weight loss. And if you have a hypo episode and have «used up» all your calories, just f* the calories 😂 You don’t ruin your progress by having to get your blood sugar up one night.

    "pb1workouts- my mom is a type 1 and her blood sugars seem to stabilize within a good range as long as she has protein with every meal, snack & before bed. She also quit drinking alcohol which seemed to drive her to low blood sugar in the middle of the night. Best wishes!

    Down 126 lbs from Sept 2017 to today. Clean-eating and serious gym time.

    Looking for committed, fun, fitness-minded friends also! I need to liven-up my friends list.

    Amazing work, way to go! Your arms look great, are you using any specific lifting/ strength program?

    Hi! And thank you! No specific program. I design my own workouts. :) While safely doing so, I simply lift as HEAVY as possible, and once I can hit 8 reps at my HEAVIEST, it's time to increase weight.

    Really need to hire you as a nutritionist and a coach!
