INSULIN questions...Anyone smart around here?

Ok, gonna just put all my questions in this thread (all regarding insulin). I am type 1 diabetic so keep this in mind while reading.

1. Hypothetically, if I eat a mean HIGH in protein/creatine and NO carbs, my blood sugar will NOT go up, so I will NOT require any insulin. Does this mean I wasted the protein and creatine? Is insulin neccassry to deliver it to muscles?


2. While most say eat 6 meals a day, should they all include carbs? If so, wouldnt that be bad since that would cause insulin spikes all the time? I have read on Ironaddicts, that when insulin is present fat loss is basically impossilble? S

3. People keep saying, "Dude being Diabetic is NOT a disadvantage, and that I have the advanteage of being able to manipulate insulin realease and what not". What would be a good protocol on when to take it? I know POST workout is a good idea for nutrient uptake but when should I NOT take it and when SHOULD I for bb'ing purposes.
 
my post count is not high enough 4 link but there is a diabeticbodybuilding website
 
Post workout carbs doesn't matter on the type so much as glycogen replenishment doesn't happen instantly. You just want to get enough carbs in for the day.

What most people do is take complex carbs all day except for pw. I personally mix them up and use both. Sometimes I blend my shakes with oats, bananas, strawberries or maltodex.

If you are trying to keep the fat down most people eat the vast majority of their carbs at 3 times. Breakfast, pre and post workout. This is because they only have a limited amount available for the day and those times are the most useful. But really it is more of calories in than calories out than carb timing for weight loss.
 
i have a friend who is a type 1 insulin dependent diabetic that is a muscle head. We think he manipulates his insulin dosages as well, as he has an insulin pump attached to his body. I can tell you that I have seen him many times go into insulin shock and the results were not pretty....and this while at work. Be careful with insulin, insulin shock sucks and if you are alone when it happens, you could easily end up dying
