Good day Gents,
Not sure if the Topic is suitable for this section, but I have a curiosity
My brother in law wanted to start a cycle, but I shut him down harshly, cause he's only 19, is a diabetic and ends up in hospital for the smallest illness/injuries. Also not disciplined enough at the moment, even if he was not diabetic. He is struggling with depression due to the obstacles he has to overcome and he wants to build muscle.
Does any of you have knowledge regarding training a diabetic person. We diet to accomplish keto, but this is what can end a diabetic persons life. I've seen him drop 10kg and dehydrate in a nights time if he got a simple stomach bug . Anyway, with the insulin intake and fast metabolism I am curious how that impacts mass building and maintaining. I know most are going to give the healthy eating and training mockery, but I hope to find someone with some deeper knowledge regarding metabolic rates in diabetes and protein synthesis as well as how to counter that with dieting and training in a targeted manner.
Any takers?
