help from the mods....

[da big thinker]

big calvin,

i empathize w/ your sentiments,although valid to a certain degree...nevertheless,winstrol is not your answer....heck,steroids is not your answer!at least,not at this stage of the game.your confidence factor,can be achieved by sticking to a balanced diet,a good training regimen and proper recuperation.once results start to surface,you will gain confidence and reassure yourself.
winstrol,will not help you lose weight or fat...it will preserve your LBM while you restrict your calories...i just think you should focus on the primary goal here...being to lose as much fat as possible and drop your bf% to a satisfactory level for YOURSELF.READ THE ANABOLICS BOARD and inform yourself on cutting drugs,to reach your final conclusion when you have reached a tolerable level and a level where the drug in hand will make a difference.hope this helps you in some way!!!

Big calvin, I take 6 injections/day, humalog and insulatard.

Big calvin, I hope you've PM'd MR X like he said. Have you had a full check-up for heart, liver, kidney disease for a start? If you have any probs there then you really need to do a keto under medical/dietetic supervision. But I really think that you need to knock off eating carbs at least until your insulin sensitivity returns to more normal levels. Please don't put this off any longer. You've been waffling around on this diet issue for too long and if you keep it up your pancreas may just pack it in all together and then you WILL be insulin dependant for life. That's if your heart doesn't give up first. I'm not scare mongering, just very concerned that you're stalling (in denial as you said) and that this could have serious repercussions. And steroids at this stage will most likely worsen your insulin resistance and possibly raise you blood pressure (not to mention the orals will tax your liver even more than it already is). Don't even think about it right now.

molle:
im also on 6 injections day, i only mainly use humalog...but im starting to also use L in the morning....how much total insulin are u on? im going on....over these days at over 70iu a day.

ms:
well see the thing is, as MR.X knows, everytime i try to do keto i end up cheating and my sugar end up at over 500...so what im gonna try to do is a balanced eating plan,weight training, and cardio program and see where that lands me.....your right ms, im always changing my plan even before i start. i read to much. and start second guessing myself.....if the diet i layed out doesnt work , well atleast im not eating junk food and drinking cokes right....so ill just see if this works, if not then ill have to change it but by then ill have more will power to stick to a keto or something along those lines......

i just wanted to say thanks to everyone for responding..i didnt think so many people would reply...thanks again....

Calvin,
I just want to add something. I can't stress to you enough how bad an idea it is for you to self-administer insulin to control your blood sugar without getting sound medical advice from a doctor that knows about diabetes and your situation. If you're taking that much insulin to keep your blood sugar down, then you're eating way to much. You need to see a specialist and get a proper diagnosis. You say you think you're type 2, but you're taking 70ius/day of insulin. That's more than most type 1 diabetics take. A doctor can run a 12 hour glucose tolerance test where they measure your fasting glucose, and then measure it at 30 minute intervals to see how you react to different things. A doctor could then tell you how much you need to be eating and how much insulin you should be taking a day. Just eating and taking insulin in response to glucose changes is very dangerous. Staying healthy with diabetes is all about moderation and control. You want to keep your blood sugar in a target area all the time.. You want to avoid the huge ups and downs that comes with eating too much and taking insulin when you blood sugar is high. Those ups and downs, can eventually lead to high blood pressure, liver and kidney failure, blindness, poor circulation to the extremities, etc.. This is a serious condition, and you shouldn't be playing by ear. Best of luck to you and your health.

thanks onenameleft,
well the reason im not really telling my doc about all this is cause well he tried to put me, a 460+ guy on 1800 calories! i mean i think 2500 is dame low anuff . but anyways, my dads diabetic so he like tells me what he thinks about what im doing.....my sugar gets really high only when i a. eat a lot! or b. drink something that has carbs...i think the "drink" , any drink(milk,coke,juice) jumps it the most out of all foods. milk which is low GI ups it like u wouldnt beleave! but they only real reason my sugar gets so high is cause i eat something i shouldnt have ....but im tryin, im tryin and im gettin there.....

 

[blood_drinker]

calvin , bro, no offence, but 1800 cals will do you much better than going on a cookies and milk binge and raising your sugar levels over 500. so what if you lose muscle....youll probably be MUCH happier at a leaner bf% with less muscle than what you are now. Tell your doctor that you need more cals, and he´ll give you his opinions. You can back it up with all the stuff you learned since you say you read so much ...but seriously, STICK TO YOUR DOCS PLAN MAN ! YOURE PLAYING WITH FIRE HERE BRO ! It seems you do read way too much and do too little. Reminds me of me in the start. I wanted to try and know everything so quick, and yet Im so young. Stick to something, work hard, it will pay off. SOoner rather than later, I promise. And plus, we´ll be here to support you calvin.

Good luck, and get your ass to the doctor.

 

[big calvin]

well your right on the 1800 caloires thing.....but i think i have come up with a plan i can live with and it just right for me.....ohh and dont worry i have to go to the doc within the week....thats BD, ill keep u guys posted on how im doing........

 

[AnabolicDiabetic]

Calvin...you need to go by what your blood test results are and NOT some BB diet. How many times a day do you test your blood sugar?

If you are diabetic, I don't care what kind of diet your on, you need insulin- period! We've talked a few times before and it seems as though you are still in denial about being diabetic. My advice to you is to not do AAS, t3, or anything else until you have your BS levels under control, see your doctor regularly, and see a therapist possibly to help you deal with the fact that you are diabetic. If this sounds harsh, I'm sorry, but I know where you are and you need to stop fooling yourself- this disease will kill you if you don't treat it- AD

 

[big calvin]

thanks AD, i know im diabetic im just trying to find the best way to control it....like ok u tell me if this is normal, i had 1.5 cups cheerios(multigrain) and 1.5 cups skim milk this morning, before that mean my BG was 303, i took 10IU of humalog and about an hour after the meal, it was 430! how can that be? i injected 10iu.......i test my blood sugar everytime before i inject(so about 6-7 times)
