Bodybuilding With Diabetes

I thought this was an incredibly inspirational article - Scrawny Boy With Type 1 Diabetes Becomes Mr. Universe.

I get a lot of email from people asking for advice on bodybuilding training with diabetes. I don't know enough about the disease to offer much help.

I do know that many people let all sorts of excuses get in the way of their goals. Most of these excuses are ridiculous and even more ridiculous in comparison.

From the article above, Doug Burns' advice to diabetic kids is "to accept diabetes for what it is, simply an obstacle like any other, one that they can use instead of letting it use them."

Great advice. Substitute whatever excuse you may have for "diabetes" and take that advice to heart. Obstacles only prevent you from achieving something when you give them that power.
