I've worked with multiple clients who have either Type 1 or 2; type 1 is a little easier as they are used to eating proper from the start, but with 2 it's a bit more painful since they aren't used to eating right.

I concentrate on low-GI carbs, lean proteins and healthy fats, taper down carbs towards 7 and limit the carb meals to control blood sugar level. It's a semi-low carb combined with higher protein. Of course, everything is monitored, including glucose and ketone levels.

I had a friend with Type 2, he was doing a ketogenic CKD on a cycle without a problem.

I think everyone is still unique; even if diabetic. Are you prescribed insulin? metformin?

Obviously you don't want to just eat garbage, but I think you can definitely still eat carbs and eat more like a traditional bodybuilder does; you just need to know how your body responds and make sure your medication (be it metformin, insulin, or something else) is dosed accordingly.

I have type 2 , or should I say had type 2 , according to the doc I haven't had it for nearly twelve months , I eat very healthy , but hadn't up until twelve months ago , I eat lots of greens , not a lot of carbs , lots of red meat , lots of chicken, turkey, not gone on fish , but if I have to I will , no bread, etc, I eat like anyone else who trains and cycles . I don't even take the medication anymore as the doc said I don't need to , she doesn't understand how it's completely gone as if I never had it .

considering most of us carry a lot of mass on our frames this is an important topic.

i am not a diabetic but I am huge for my height and have a lot of mass and I suspiciously believe that I am definately insulin sensitive. this means I can eat clean as a cucumber and still have trouble losing body fat. it really sucks. I wasn't like this before I started putting on mass, i actually used to be skinny all my life and then was even an endurance athlete in my mid 20's. body fat was 6% measured and i weighed 133.. today I am 205 at 5 6 1/2 height and 14% bf. as you can tell by my avatar I'm a big boy

everyone in my family has diabetes and i even had a grandmother die from it at a young age .. but i take care of myself and exercise everyday so i have kept it away, knock on wood.. if there comes a day where i let myself go and quit on the life i have little doubt i would easily become one. i know bodybuilders in their 30's who become diabetics just cause they are so big..

I've seen this happen quite a few times before with those diagnosed with diabetes. Sometimes when you are start eating right, and stop eating garbage you can make your body do a full 180, as if you never had it in the first place

I no longer have Type 2 diabetes , this is a true statement , ( technically I guess , I mean just like an alcoholic is still an alcoholic even if they haven't drank in ten years ) my HbA1c (Glycated haemoglobin) and fructosamine have come back completely clear for well over twelve months now, I asked my doc to explain what this means and was informed that my diabetes is gone , as I said before , it's at a point where it seems I never had it .

You can provide people with all the information in the world , give them all the advice they need to do something , you can test them six months later after they inform you there doing just what you said and following all your instruction , but if those results are coming back telling you there not , then there not doing anything to help themselves.
