Im diabetic, and am just wondering if the rule applys for me, after my workout i normally have my protein shake my creatine and half a pint of pure orange juice. But as im diabetic i have to inject for this which gives me my insulin spike.. Is this correct?

If you have diabetes type 1 you will need to inject to get insulin into your blood stream. If you're unsure about how to regulate your insulin with your workout and carbs I suggest talking to your doctor or an exercise specialist (maybe your doc can refer you to someone)
 
agreed, talk to you doctor. tell him what you're doing and why.

don't be surprised if he freaks about creatine...don't worry that supplement is fine for you. doctors love to think of creatine as some kind of steroid (which is so far from the truth, its hilarious)
 
Yeah i will do, i am going to see sir steve redgraves diabectic consultant, who is a world leader in sport and diabetes (as far as i know) so im sure she will be able to tell me. Thanks

The ingredients of such bar are vital. Some of them will have an excess amount of artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Small amounts of these ingredients will cause your body no harm, but because they are so prevalent in many of our foods, it is best to avoid them whenever possible.

Here is what ideal low carb protein bars should contain:

- Fewer than 2 grams of sugar
- No more than 190 calories
- 21 grams of protein
- 75 mg sodium
- Absolute no artificial anything

When did we start talking about bars? And if he is gonna eat a bar, it should contain carbs. Type 1 diabetics need that so they don't go hypoglycemic while they train. But he's gonna go see a specialist, so I guess there's really no need to say that here..
 
Nutrition protein bars are used to help regulate body goals in weight maintenance and to improve muscle mass. The bars come in various nutritional combinations that have been scientifically designed to help with healthy-body goals obtained through diet and proper nutrition, while also designed with textures and tastes that can compete for profits in the overly competitive convenience-style foods market today.
