I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for 27 years and I spent a good few years not taking care of my diabetes as much as I should have been. I have been working with a trainer since January 2025 and am currently down 20 lbs. I started at 223 lbs and am steadily decreasing. I am currently eating 1650 Calories, 50g Fat, 150g Protein, and 150g Carbs. I have noticed significant gains in my upper body and endurance, but I can't seem to gain strength in my legs. They are always gassed. I am worried my legs may have signs of neuropathy from the diabetes. Does this sound correct, and if so, have you seen this before, and will it reverse itself while working out?
