hi people, so I’m wanting to get back in the gym to get fit and healthy again and I was wondering how it works taking protein shakes( while keeping my insulin intake with the carbs) and just general weight gain tips for a type 1 diabetic overall? Please help

Hi Courtz. 🙂 I use protein shakes although this is after bike rides and the ones I use are only around 12g carb each. When I get back my levels are usually falling so I won't normally take insulin for them. Can't really help with weight gain tips (could do with some myself 
) but if it's bodybuilding/gym work you're looking at then Runsweet has some information that may be useful.
