Got diagnosed 5 months ago (age 21) left hospital weighing in at 66kg, my weight before diabetes was 80kg, 5 months later I'm back up to 77 kilos. Don't give up!! Thank u for the video! Glad to know I'm not the only one struggling with this awful disease
@akshayskumar7604 what should I change my diet too I'm on a bulk and now I'm hearing that I'm pre diabetic I've been mostly eating good and tracking my calories for 1 year training too
I've had type 1 diabetes for 29 years. I am so sick of being treated fragile, and the medical community being scared shitless and not wanting to deal with me when I talk about wanting performance gains from my body. I've lost a lot of time and years dealing with these people. Bless all of you fighting to strive for something better for the diabetics out there that don't want to be average. Thanks for the videos and keep the info coming 💪👍.
Diabetic Muscle and Fitness hi bro I have 1 question do you know how I can bigger currently I'm. 174 cm my bmi is 20 and my weight was 136 pound the last time I checked im just wondering how I can get to 198 pounds like bane from Batman and I'm not sure but my stomach is fat but my arms are skinny thx man
Cheesin31 respect man you’re strong. I’m 15 and got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 12. I was really really ill. Felt like I was dying. With a blood sugar of 32.
I know making excuses isn't going to do anything positive for me but I've been busting my ass in the gym and am more motivated than ever. I'm 26 and been going to the gym almost everyday for a month and plan to keep it going but now I'm worried I won't see any gains. I've lost weight and think I'm getting healthier but I want to get ripped and have a six pack. I didn't realize the effect of blood sugar on progression and building muscle. I always check my sugar before I go but if it's a little high I still go. Just tired of letting diabetes control my life and push through the workouts regardless, I just never want it to be low. This disease is just exhausting and nobody understands 😔
I think as long as you check your blood sugar level before the workout, have something before hand (but not if your level is high) and at your next meal do slightly less insulin to avoid a hypo as your body will be more sensitive to insulin after a workout.
My legs hurt so bad and got diagnosed with diabetes. I'm not perfect 5 B S level. But the pain is pretty well gone. I'm living again... I took up rockclimbing and climbing 5.11a's with in a year. I climb out side and do lead.I feel so strong and healthy.
Type 2 for more than 5 yrs and had not been taking it serious. Hospital visit last month and possible end of life has given me yet another chance at life. I’ve chosen to get back to weight-lifting to fight dearth for as long as possible. Thank you wholeheartedly for all your hard work!! #GoodOnYa
@@15incher caught Covid and had a serious respiratory issue. Lost 35-40lbs in two weeks. I’ve since starting walking at lunch and hitting the weights religiously. Clean eating and I’ve dropped 3 pant sizes! You can do this!
I'm glad I found you. I am a T1D discovered at age 30, (twelve years ago), while I was working as a personal trainer. It happened as a result from brain trauma ten years prior. I quit my job when I learned of my diabetes. Now, I am surviving just fine but trying to deal handling life with diabetes on top of the recovery from the head injury. I'll watch more of your videos soon. I hope I can help out my health and secure a better future.
This is interesting, as someone recently diagnosed with high blood glucose, I've also started hitting the weights again ...I've actually noticed a pretty solid amount of progress in as little as a month. By progress I mean the changes in body composition, recovery times, and strength levels...maybe I'm just fortunate or maybe I'm just too early on but, I have not run into anything to suggest I've been suffering from these major/key drawbacks. I'm certainly not complaining but, despite this my numbers still aren't really where they need to be...at least not yet...your book is going on my Christmas list for sure
Thank you, i've been a type 1 diabetic since I was 6 years old. I am 18 years of age now, this is the first I have ever seen of this topic. Going to work hard at it now.
Not everything I wanted was here, but, I have the incredibly high metabolism that doctors hate, and I still found great information here. It's easy to have hyperglycemia, especially building mass, but, it really comes down to knowing yourself. I went from 160 to 178 in two weeks from weight training, but, I should be farther from that normally. It takes a lot to work with others, especially in a heavy warehouse environment, without adapting. Don't let any of this video be for vain.
I never thought of testing my blood sugar after working out.. to be honest, after hearing this, I don't even want to check because it will piss me off and depress me.. lol..
I'm type1 diabetes found out in November it defo sucks but I don't want it to stop me training as its something I have loved for years, I found having weetabix and banana in the morning then I go train then after the gym have eggs with toast with no insulin helps level surags back out after the work out I've found.
It's weird, I have diabetes since 2004 and never had any issue building muscles. On the other hand, I had a pretty poor control and I'm trying to stabilize it now. Interesting take
Phil is amazing for the diabetic community! I use your diet plan to eat healthier and I've been counting my macros with Myfitnesspal with great success. Sadly I have Charcot Foot from not taking care of myself in the past and will never be a body builder. But at least I can have a healthy heart and be cardio fit 👍🏼
I was just diagnosed with pre diabetes and little high cholesterol. It's strange because I workout like 5 days a week, mostly weight training. My fasting number is usually high, but I just changed my diet to higher healthy fat and lower carb and numbers have been a lot better. Can you do a video on what are good foods with diabetes and good for muscle building?
I sure can - you numbers have possible come down as you have restricted your overall calorie intake. Make sure you are signed up on www.diabeticmuscleandfitness.com and check out all the articles!
i was just diagnosed with it too. last week. and my cholesterol is also a little high. my bad cholesterol is 3.0. still trying to move on now. but how did you get it? you did work out a lot? and still get it? thats very unfair
Type 2 diabetes has nothing to do with the fittness of you body. It mostly has to do with insuline resistance. When you eat tons of carbs you body need allot of insuline but it also builds up a resistance for insuline which makes you need more insulin. Insulin is also a fat hormone. which means if you have raised insuline levels your body will be more likely to store fat. This is why people who have type 2 diabetes get fat. It isn't that they are over eating. Its that their body stores the carbs imidiatly as fat except of burning it. I myself have type 1 diabetes for all my life. I have never lost a single kilogram without starving myself. I weight now 108 kg (although iam 198cm iam not THAT heavy) and iam already trying for 2 years to lose fat while i gained 15kg. Now iam trying to eat waaay less carbs and changed my dieet to "good" carbs and "Low" carbs and i have never felt that good. Since i started this 2 weeks ago and had a BBQ and another party i can't really tell if it works for me but the science is there to back it up and i hope it works. Just keep moving, avoid big carb bombs (like 120 carbs + in Pizza's etc) (once in a while its okay), try to eat some good healthy foods and maybe add some foods like cinamon to boost your insuline sensitivity and you will be alright.
I was also diagnosed with a prediabetes and I ve been going to gym for almost 1 year but my blood sugar is still spiking instead of coming to the normal .
if someone who has diabetes can answer. For the last couple of years (regardless of liquid intake) I wake up 1) *1-3 time's a night to pee. And yes I pee alot.. , always dark... I try to drink as much as I Should ,water. Sugarfree soda etc ,above 2.5L aday both combined. and PWO... Always 0.5--0.8L in the gym. I tried limit the last time of intake to 6PM (not american, but yeah 4h before bed) Still pee 2-3 times a night... 2) Feeling like im drunk Like seriously having a hard time focusing with my vision. Feels like it's getting worse. Definely not helping with my driverslicense... But the energylevel as a whole, I mean soberly feeling drunk, after sleeping 10-12hours and still feeling like shit and having a hungoverfeeling unless I get coffee/pwo (or..... sugar...snickers gets me to normal like THAT..) 3) Maybe I read too much online
Through selecting t.co/qe8rVrZXhs you will recover from diabetes and set you to a more good life style. For a time period of 1 ½ months, my husband has been a keen follower of the plan. It has been 5 years since he has been using insulin shots. He has been a type 2 diabetes patient for 6 years. His eating habits have positively altered since he has been a keen reader and follower of this plan..
I'm a Type 1 diabetic and I've been trying to build muscle for YEARS with very little results. I'm on an insulin pump and even with that, I still have periods of highs and lows and I'm really beginning to feel like giving up.
Thank you for your video. I've been training for a few years but the progress haven't been what I've seen with "fit" friends. I thought that diabetes didn't affect my muscle building that much, but apparently it does. Instead of looking into regular fitness reports, I'll look into what you have to say!
If this disease stops me from building muscle, I'm gonna go for anabolics because no other option. this disease is literally making me depressed day by day.
Been lifting weights for the last 4 years haven’t noticed any improvement I see some people only few months after started lifting weight building muscle more muscles than me I am pissed and fed up
really good interesting vid thanks. I have type 1 and never appreciated all these effects of it when I go gym. The only reaI impact of it I felt was how I never had the energy or focus to go gym (or work hard if I was) when I had high sugars, it makes me lazy and lethargic. I need to focus on getting my blood sugar down. thanks again real lesson there.
Im diabetic and am on a journey to become a body builder. I have a question: i have insulin then i have a feed, my BSL goes to around 14-15 but starts to drop almost immediatly and with in a hour or two its under 10. Do these high numbers still effect progress or gains. Chers man. Thanks for the videos also, i watched my first one of your series this morning.
I cannot stress more how important it is to obsess over your blood glucose... I am just trying to gain 5kg of muscle but it’s taking long... consistency is key...
Hey am a diabetic . Aged 25 . I would like to know wat should be my workout routine in a week. I like hardcore exercise but am unable to see any gain or improvements . P.s -am a doctor
How long does it take the cells to realize that they are starving? In the event of hyperglycemia. Does small corrections of insulin not help? Or is it too late at that point?
I'm a type 2 with severe insulin resistance. I'm high on long acting insulin and on short acting insulin and not very responsive to meds. I'm so very confused why strength training has had so little effect in the reduction of my A1C
What about your nutrition, stress, sleep, current body comp? All of these factors have an effect. Get over and join our facebook group buddy! Search diabetic muscle and fitness
How many books are there mate? Bit confused on e-book and technology in general. I dont have FB & would just like to get all the books or is there just one book with everything in it from nutrition to workout plans ect. Thanks
I’ve had diabetes since I was 5 and am now 18. I workout regularly and don’t see the results I’d like to. I’m 150 pounds with a 150 pound bench max. I am gaining some strength but no weight and real muscle mass. I struggle majorly with control but what are some foods and supplements that will help control whilst also building muscle/weight?
Ive been T1D for 3/4s of my life. I was very interested until i went to the site and everything is about profiting. Even w/ the same generic fake countdoowns to reserve a price. Those types of gimmicks really make paying for anything hard in my opinion. The integrity drops to me.
I'm a type two diabetic. As far as I understand it I'm producing to much insulin but my cells are resistant to absorbing it. I believe insulin plays a big part in body composition. Please correct me if I'm wrong but body builders use insulin to build muscle. In their world it's classed as a steroid. I think perhaps you could differentiate between type one and type two diabetes and explain the difference and needs of insulin in the illnesses. Do take anything else other than insulin?
I have been diabetic for 32 years. I also have chronic compartment syndrome. Basically when I run or do cardio or many other things my legs feel like a pop bottle that's shaken up. Feels like they are gonna explode. I had surgery for this but it did not help. I get this same tightness in my forearms too. Know one seems to be able to help me with this problem and it effects my life so much. I was thinking maybe this condition is from my diabetes. Doctors say that diabetes should not cause the compartment syndrome symptoms though. So I'm posting this in hoped that .aybe someone out there has some similar issues or experience with these problems. I still think this may be an effect of my diabetes. Any input would be great?
I'm supposedly type 2 and after a month of dieting the only time my blood glucose is over 6 is when I wake up, before I eat. I take 1 500 mg metformin at breakfast and by night after my workout my glucose is down to the 4's. I'm starting to wonder if I even have type 2 diabetes. Taking metformin twice a day almost landed me in the hospital. I'm basically on a two small meal a day diet. Staying away from starches, sugars, and grains.
Whenever I do weights or sit ups, press ups at home before insulin or a meal etc it seems to send my glucose levels sky high!! I’m 41 and am desperate to raise my muscle mass around my arms. I’m quite strong but it doesn’t show!! I want wider arms, if I look at my biceps they’re ok but my arms are very skinny!! How do I stop getting high (hyperglycaemia) and pack on muscle?? I can’t afford all these expensive plans etc ….
I always go in to my workout with normal blood sugar and come out with super high in the 300s should I take insulin at the gym to get it back down? I train for around 2 hours
I'm a diabetic and I've been having trouble cause my hormones are messed up and for some reason my Dr does not care but most of the time doing something like running, heavy bag training, or cardio bag lowers my sugar. I went for a run yesterday and I thought I ate things that would raise my sugar a little high but I came back and my sugar was 78 so then I tried to eat something to get it more to normal levels and it jumped up to 203 but after an hour was down to 129 idk Its all crazy
Doing different types of exercises will change your blood glucose depending on whether you are doing HIT (High intensity Training), cardio or if you are doing weightlifting. HIT and Cardio will causes your sugars to drop faster, whereas weightlifting will cause more stress on your body and your body will react by raising your sugars. I will be making a video about this soon, hope this helps!
Your instrument can give you false readings it’s always best to take 2-4 readings at the time with two different glucose meters and if you have 3 readings that match closely that’s the estimated range
What was the name of the book? 8:01 I've written this because the information I've just listened to is GOLD and on the basis of it, I'm recommending it. I am going to look for it now on Amazon.
Hey love the information, I’m 23 and was diagnosed 3 years ago when trying to join the military and kept getting rejected at meps. Pretty disheartening because that’s what I felt destine to do. Ive never been over 170lb, I really want to try and build some mass as I’ve found exercising helps regulate with out insulin usage. I can’t seem to build and mass over 170. Any idea what I could do!!?
Very inspirational... Phil...great work...But I want to know more about the terms which you discussed in video...and want to spread awareness about T1D in India...
Its so hard im getting fat i used to have sixpack now im fat , went on Dafne course and still has not helped blood sugars , had type 1 for 25 years and i dont feel good feel like giving up😭😥😢

All the best to diabetes sufferers.
Hey am a diabetic . Aged 25 . I would like to know wat should be my workout routine in a week. I like hardcore exercise but am unable to see any gain or improvements
. P.s -am a doctor
erm, you explained hypo as high blood sugar. when its low blood sugar...
How long does it take the cells to realize that they are starving? In the event of hyperglycemia. Does small corrections of insulin not help? Or is it too late at that point?
I'm a type 2 with severe insulin resistance. I'm high on long acting insulin and on short acting insulin and not very responsive to meds. I'm so very confused why strength training has had so little effect in the reduction of my A1C
What about your nutrition, stress, sleep, current body comp? All of these factors have an effect. Get over and join our facebook group buddy! Search diabetic muscle and fitness
How many books are there mate? Bit confused on e-book and technology in general. I dont have FB & would just like to get all the books or is there just one book with everything in it from nutrition to workout plans ect. Thanks
such a great video
I’ve had diabetes since I was 5 and am now 18. I workout regularly and don’t see the results I’d like to. I’m 150 pounds with a 150 pound bench max. I am gaining some strength but no weight and real muscle mass. I struggle majorly with control but what are some foods and supplements that will help control whilst also building muscle/weight?
Did you ever figure out how to gain muscle ima also a t1d and hit a plateau
Viewers has found lot mn dollers valuable data swamy thanks lot
Great info
Very good
I'm lose my bodyweight very fast i use insulin mixtard 30 plz tell me how i can get 2 or 3 kg bodyweight
What is blood sugar range that safe for weight lifting or bodybuilding? I desprate building muscle. I have type 2.
Ive been T1D for 3/4s of my life. I was very interested until i went to the site and everything is about profiting. Even w/ the same generic fake countdoowns to reserve a price. Those types of gimmicks really make paying for anything hard in my opinion. The integrity drops to me.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Awesome video, I feel less lonely now, great tips also

How are you brother, I am learning a lot by watching your video, I have diabetics I go to the gym every day ... Can I eat supplements?....bangladesh
can you build muscle at 36? I have skinny arms and it's really bothering me..borderline making me want to end it all
Yes absolutely man. Don't give up 💪
It is super stressful. I have highs when I sleep and I don't understand why and it is so aggravating.
It all starts with diet. Eat more fiber and make it a habit, so you don't think about it.
@@user-pc7ef5sb6x I actually have been doing that and sleeping spikes are gone :). I am back in the 80s-90s range
What is good suplement for diabetic and gain weight?
I have found HITT to be beneficial for glucose control. But it is hard work. 😅
thanx for the knowledge..
great work..
Thanks Bharat! Respect
Dammit I really want to read your book but I’m blind and I can’t seem to find an audiobook version
I'm a type two diabetic. As far as I understand it I'm producing to much insulin but my cells are resistant to absorbing it. I believe insulin plays a big part in body composition. Please correct me if I'm wrong but body builders use insulin to build muscle. In their world it's classed as a steroid.
I think perhaps you could differentiate between type one and type two diabetes and explain the difference and needs of insulin in the illnesses.
Do take anything else other than insulin?
Y have type 1 diabetes for 1 year and y was diagnosed wen y was day and it was kids day and now am 11
Gracias
I have been diabetic for 32 years. I also have chronic compartment syndrome. Basically when I run or do cardio or many other things my legs feel like a pop bottle that's shaken up. Feels like they are gonna explode. I had surgery for this but it did not help. I get this same tightness in my forearms too. Know one seems to be able to help me with this problem and it effects my life so much. I was thinking maybe this condition is from my diabetes. Doctors say that diabetes should not cause the compartment syndrome symptoms though. So I'm posting this in hoped that .aybe someone out there has some similar issues or experience with these problems. I still think this may be an effect of my diabetes. Any input would be great?
maan! you got me motivated thanks buddy!
I'm supposedly type 2 and after a month of dieting the only time my blood glucose is over 6 is when I wake up, before I eat. I take 1 500 mg metformin at breakfast and by night after my workout my glucose is down to the 4's. I'm starting to wonder if I even have type 2 diabetes. Taking metformin twice a day almost landed me in the hospital. I'm basically on a two small meal a day diet. Staying away from starches, sugars, and grains.
Great video! Great work!
Whenever I do weights or sit ups, press ups at home before insulin or a meal etc it seems to send my glucose levels sky high!! I’m 41 and am desperate to raise my muscle mass around my arms. I’m quite strong but it doesn’t show!! I want wider arms, if I look at my biceps they’re ok but my arms are very skinny!! How do I stop getting high (hyperglycaemia) and pack on muscle?? I can’t afford all these expensive plans etc ….
Nice genuine good guy.
Just trll me what to eat and when so I can grow
thank you brother ☺☺
Great vid, very interesting.
Thanks Ryan - Anything bodybuilding and diabetes - stay tuned here!
#2 has. happened to me but I didn’t connect the dots until now
I always go in to my workout with normal blood sugar and come out with super high in the 300s should I take insulin at the gym to get it back down? I train for around 2 hours
Good
I'm a diabetic and I've been having trouble cause my hormones are messed up and for some reason my Dr does not care but most of the time doing something like running, heavy bag training, or cardio bag lowers my sugar. I went for a run yesterday and I thought I ate things that would raise my sugar a little high but I came back and my sugar was 78 so then I tried to eat something to get it more to normal levels and it jumped up to 203 but after an hour was down to 129 idk Its all crazy
Doing different types of exercises will change your blood glucose depending on whether you are doing HIT (High intensity Training), cardio or if you are doing weightlifting. HIT and Cardio will causes your sugars to drop faster, whereas weightlifting will cause more stress on your body and your body will react by raising your sugars. I will be making a video about this soon, hope this helps!
@@thediabeticsource5607 Thank you
Your instrument can give you false readings it’s always best to take 2-4 readings at the time with two different glucose meters and if you have 3 readings that match closely that’s the estimated range
Better to stay low and keep some orange juice or chocolate close by. Spikes aren’t good.
@@thediabeticsource5607 you say weightlifting raises your sugars which burns muscle for fuel so, how do you get around this without using steroids ?
What was the name of the book? 8:01
I've written this because the information I've just listened to is GOLD and on the basis of it, I'm recommending it. I am going to look for it now on Amazon.

Hey love the information, I’m 23 and was diagnosed 3 years ago when trying to join the military and kept getting rejected at meps. Pretty disheartening because that’s what I felt destine to do. Ive never been over 170lb, I really want to try and build some mass as I’ve found exercising helps regulate with out insulin usage. I can’t seem to build and mass over 170. Any idea what I could do!!?
