Just wondering how to maximize my pre + Post workout nutrition without effecting my diabetes in a negative way. If it matters this advice is for my wife’s condition she was just diagnosed.
Hi there, a little late but hopefully I can help. It really depends on a few things as to whether using extra carbs would be suitable.
- Is her diabetes well controlled? Do you know her HbA1c? Does she monitor her own BG?
- What medication is she taking?
- What are her goals? What kind of workouts?
- What is her diet like in the hours preceeding and following her workout?
I know there’s a difference, but i’m a type 1 diabetic. I take my full dose of insulin for my preworkout shake, but only take about 3/4 of a dose for postworkout shake which will pretty much cover me for the rest of my postworkout meals. I’ll only have to take a small fraction of i’d usually have to give for the meals.
Do you know her HbA1c?

She is newly diagnosed so i dont think you get what a HbA1c is…
etc. Hope this helps

You think wrong. I KNOW your post wasn’t in the slightest bit useful.
Whey, water, and a little extra virgin olive oil and/or heavy cream.
It is the ideal pwo shake for the Anabolic Diet. Works pretty good, I dont see carbs as being the key to muscle building but you do need calories and protein…
