I've been strength training (flawed SSLP, Texas method, 531) for the past 3 years. I've not followed the program with regard to protein intake and sleep, very well. I am now trying to do the program, albeit with 5-3-1.
1. Protein Intake for T1 Diabetics: Any concern here, as long as A1Cs are normal or near normal?
2. Creatine Usage for T1 Diabetics: I think I understood you to say Creatine should be OK for diabetics, except that the Dr. might get upset/concerned/prescribe meds in response to the kidney lab results. Is this an accurate characterization?
