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?
Hey Gary, I've been a follower of yours for a long time. I love your content and the message you're sending out to the world. I wanted to ask, I am a type 1 diabetic; I became diabetic just before my 18th birthday. I have always been a healthy and athletic man, and now more than ever. You speak a lot about type 2 diabetes but never really about type 1. I am curious if you know anything that the masses may not about this condition. I never truly understood why I became diabetic, and neither did the doctors. I know the general explanation of why and how it happens, but there has never been a root cause explanation. I am 22 now and doing great living as a diabetic with excellent sugar and A1C levels, but I'm always interested to know and learn more. Thanks for all you are doing in the world for healthy living.
