Patty: What problem does your daughter have with her diabetes?

John V. About "bodybuilding" tips, weight training can improve blood sugar control, reduce bodyfat, increase strength and endurance. No one is saying here that you HAVE to do it. It is just one of many things a person with Diabetes can do to fight this disease. The benefits of lifting are irrefutable. As far as leaving because of silly posts, some have. But people with serious questions deserve honest answers. Some of us may disagree, but that disagreement can be beneficial; you learn!

Protein in urine can be a sign of weakening kidney disfunction. It is usually measured by collecting all urine in a 24 hour period, along with a blood test. Ace inhibitors and blood pressure medications can either slow the increase in protein spillage or even reverse it, in some cases.

Protein in your urine is very very bad I have heard. You should go get checked in at the nearest ER. I would call an ambulance right away. Should be ok with proper emergency treatment I would guess though.

What does it mean when you have protein in your urine? Does that mean your kidney's are going bad?

Dr. Atkins died of a head injury sustained in a fall, not kidney failure! His diet does work, but, as was posted earlier, diabetics should be real careful about this approach to fat loss. Kidney stress can be serious.

....CENSORSHIP AND REMOVAL OF POSTS IS WRONG AND STIFLES THE FREE APROACH TO THE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS............

Dr Atkins dead. Could have been the high protien in his famous diet that caused his kidneys to shut down after a simple fall. Diabetics should really be careful of this.

It goes without saying that before you start intense workouts, see your doctor, and if you get an "ok", start light and work up. Do major movements like bench presses, rows, and squats. Save the shaping exercises until you gain some lean mass. Your CDE will have to do some work once you have started. Std. RDA's won't work, unless you want to injure yourself! Schwarzenegger's "Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding" is a good resource if you are just beginning. You might consider a personal trainer to help get you going. Someone with a degree in kinesiology for special populations will be helpful.

I thought this was a diabetes site! Guess not; sooooo, will focus on the benefits of weight training, muscle weight gain, and eating to grow!!!! I shall start here. A recent article on vitamin C suggested 500-1500 gm C twice a day as optimal for athletes. I must add though, bear in mind that Diabetics have a greater need for it, since all too often, their immune systems are depleted by bad diet. Since the vitamin is water soluble, twice per day will work. Don't forget 50-100 mg vitamin B complex vites. They help with vitamin C absorption. Personally, I use a good multivite, Vit C, and B Complex. It works! The needs of training play a big role here. I have long taken issue with the know-nothings who counsel diabetics on "exercise", if you call it that! Read something from an RD who said that most RD's deal with sick people. I agree! That lady who tells you to eat wrong thinks "poor you, YOU haaaave Diabetes! tsk! tsk! I will help you put on lots of fat and then express concern that you are obese. Then I will have you do what will make the problem worse." Oy! Enough is enough! I have diabetes. but I am not bedridden. I am not sick, I do not have arthritis,etc. I can see. Maybe I will go back to the Diabetes Support Group near me in May to go on the attack. Quack Quack!!! Heh heh. Disclaimer: This is not posted to discourage any whose Diabetes hinders their lives seriously, who have any one of a number of severe complications. I know of a number here with such problems. I am speaking from the perspective of someone who isn't in those situations. Many people with diabetes are, for whatever reasons, able to do what they need to do. To them, I will maintain my apologetic for hard, intense, strenuous, hardcore lifting! Hey, if politics is ok, so is what I just posted. For the record, the last 6 posts were irrelevant to diabetes. Mine was!

Too much insulin while drinking a six-pack of beer? Loss of conscieousness and possible seizures. I cannot imagine a diabetic being that irresponsible.

what happens when you take too much insulin while you are drinking a six pack of beer?

Amount of Insulin: I agree with you about what indicates good control. I mentioned metabolism as one reason why I get by with less than some other people. THAT DOESN'T MEAN MY CONTROL IS BETTER! Had Japanese food for dinner so glucose is running higher even though I lifted. Getting an early start tomorrow, so I will be running lower. Thanks for the added info.
