This is a good friends issues and told them I would ask the real doctors on here hahaha.
So as we know many doctors have no idea what’s going on, how to test or what to test for, or know anything about new studies or listening to their patients. But it’s still always helpful to get tests done and at least get some kind of point of view so you can start researching for yourself or find ways to improve by yourself.
So…the doctor said they were prediabetic. The thing is they eat so much food because they work so hard and they eat at night and that’s supposedly the worst time you should eat before you go to bed. So they started eating regular for a while and eating less and they have been doing good. The doctor suggests to put them on this real mild triglyceride drug that lowers your triglycerides but it not only doesn’t make a difference but it makes them feel like shit. the less they take of what the doctor prescribes the better they feel, and their numbers are about the same. The test the doctor ran to come to this conclusion and to do a check up on them are the same and they said are called “ short term and long term A1C.”
Do you guys have any advice on what to do, supplements to use or anything? I also found out that sometimes they doesn’t eat all day while doing labor outside and then eats at night and doesn’t take any protein or BCAAs. I’ve suggested to make sure they take small meals at least throughout the day so they aren’t spiking levels then crashing or filling up your body which then fails to produce what it needs while they sleep maybe? Also I suggested to make sure they are replenishing their body and helping it recover by taking BCAAs and protein as soon as your done working within the first hour. Much help and advice is needed and appreciated thank you! Also good to know that they do not take any PEDs and are in their mid to late 50s around 6ft and 180-190lbs. Thanks
