Diabetic dieting

[shawnkarbabacz]

Does anybody have any experience with this? A friend of mine thats overweight is REALLY trying to lose fat, but she cant follow standard diets because of her condition. The doctor says she doesnt process protein.

Id like to help her but i dont know much about dieting with that condition. Any ideas or links to trustworthy info?

Type 1 or Type 2 ?

type 1 insulin dependent on a pump

I could definitely be wrong...but when i was doing research on the Keto diet...i came across a diabetes site...they were saying it helps control insulin levels

Thats what ida thought too, but apparently thats not the case. I had her try a keto style diet, and she would wake up at 2am and have to eat like 8tbs of honey to get her sugar back to where it was supposed to be. As soon as she said that happened i told her to stop right away, and thats why im looking for safe effective diet strategys now.

I figure this board is a great place to find out

type 1 on a pump wow she must be haveing a very hard time keeping her sugar in check. she needs to exercise along with good diet. dieting alone aint gona do alot if she very over wieght. but its adouble edg sword cuz exercise lowers your sugar. im in the 70,s when get out of the gym. but she should know what foods really effect her sugars every one is defferent. i can eat corn rice baked potatoe mashed potatoes but bread and crackers really jack mine up. but im only type 2. but geting that kind of advice on a board i dont know about that eather its her life your talking about.

yea i know what you mean. i was hoping, since there are so many trainers and proffesionals that must have dealt with this before, that they could offer their pro advice, or possibly have a link or website to offer that is reliable.

Man dieting is hard enough without complications. My hats off to you bro as well as all others that have pressing factors that they have to consider, in addition to the overall trouble of dieting

When diet and training are in check diabetes is easy to control. Since getting into bbing my Type 1 Diabetes has been amazing, my dr is amazing by my control. At one point I was 195 pounds at 5 foot 4 with high body fat than rosie odonnell, now 5 foot 5 and 165 at around 12%bf

i used the pump for 5 years and hated it. I went from 130 pounds when i was diagnoes at 15, to 190 by the time i was 17. i kept my sites in my stomache mainly and the scar tissue is bad


i now use a pen i can control it so much better that way

For protein try collagen hydrolysate that has been enzymatically preperd, or 100% Micellar protein, whith out any added flavor or sweetener.

me and my twin brother have been a type 1 diabetic for ten years. my brother just tried dieting for his 1st show and couldnt do it. he went ten weeks and felt like he was gonna die. his sugars were way out of wack, of course he wasnt checking it like he should and he wasnt taking enough insulin. anyway the doc said his body couldnt handle it because of the diabetes. shit aint easy

My wife has been a type 1 diabetic for over 30 years now and is a personal trainer. She has been using a pump now for over 2 years. Send me a PM and I can put her in contact with your friend if you would like.
