FHS replied to Roberto's discussion 'WEIGHT LIFTING!!!' in the group Athletic Diabetics"There are, potentially, lots of issues with BG levels when you start any type of exercise program. A number if people on the forum report higher BG because of glycogen conversion to glucose. specifically, due to weight lifting.
I understand the idea…"

WEIGHT LIFTING!!!
So I'm thinking about lifting weights in order to gain some muscle weight, but the program I wanna do requires for me to eat at least 3200 calories a day. I've been researching and it seems as if weight lifting helps you burn calories thru out the day even when you're not working out. My biggest worry is my GL. Will they be high or too low? Anybody out there that has had this issue?

Roberto replied to Mike S.'s discussion 'Dumb People Comments!'"You know the one about 'you're to young to be a diabetic' bothers me. They think that its only suppose to happen to the elderly but don't know anything about the subject."
Roberto replied to Mike S.'s discussion 'Dumb People Comments!'"The one i hate the most anf which I think we all agree is "SO YOU CAN'T EAT SUGAR!!" Ha! Just cause we are diabetic doesn't necessarily mean we can't eat sugar. As long as you maintain a healthy diet or make up for it with…"
Roberto replied to Roberto's discussion 'Back at starting point!!'"Hey everyone, sorry I haven't responded I've just being tied up with my diabetes and watching what I'm eating. Just wanted to update on what's been going on with me. So far it looks as if I'm doing a lot better. I'm…"
"Hi Roberto: Losing weight is a sign of uncontrolled Type 1 diabetes. As others have said, it would be good to get antibody testing (GAD, ICA, IA-2) and a c-peptide test. I would suggest talking with your doctor about the possibility that you have…"
Alan S replied to Roberto's discussion 'Back at starting point!!'"As the others have said, you may be mis-diagnosed. But whether or not that is the case, you need to see an endo who specialises in diabetes for appropriate testing to be sure of your type and a review of your treatment.
This may help you improve…"
gphx replied to Roberto's discussion 'Back at starting point!!'"As others have stated you could be a misdiagnosed Type 1. Or it could be a result of being complacent with a 140 fasting blood glucose level. 140 fasting is far from healthy and likely represents a continual pounding of your pancreas and loss of…"
Cathy Jacobson replied to Roberto's discussion 'Back at starting point!!'"I have been a diabetic now for 11 years...I ignored it for 2 years. Can't tell you what finally got me to start paying attention.
I think we all go through a thing where we just don't want to do all this messin' around anymore, so we…"
Zoe replied to Roberto's discussion 'Back at starting point!!'"I agree with Uniboy, Roberto. I would have your doctor run antibody and c-peptide tests to clarify if you are in fact Type 2 or are actually Type 1. I was misdiagnosed Type 2 and did great on oral meds until they stopped working and my numbers…"
Unknown Diabetic replied to Roberto's discussion 'Back at starting point!!'"Your story sounds alot like mine. I was dx as type 2 then found out I was type1. You may want to get more blood work done to know for sure that you are type 2 and not 1. The same happened to me about weight loss. I just got dx as Type 1 back in…"
