If there is an interest in weightlifting, I'd love to discuss it further with anyone and get into the more detailed aspects of how to add it into your daily life as a diabetic. Contrary to some peoples' beliefs, women who weightlift heavily won't end up looking masculine. Famous women body-builders who look awesomely huge take supplements, train much more heavily and frequently and eat strict diets to gain that much muscle.

 

The best advice I'd ever give anyone who is looking to lose weight and gain better control over their blood sugars is to consider weightlifting regularly. Of course, it's best to ask your doctor before you begin -- he or she can ensure whether it's safe and healthy for you specifically.
