I fully understand that you're not a specialist in diabetes and that our discussion would not constitute any manner of doctor / patient relationship. Any discussion that I have with you might wind up just being a useful prelude to a discussion with someone who is a specialist in these things. I've actually considered flying down to Colorado and sleeping outside Inigo's office until he consents to having lunch with me. I want information that badly.
Ideally, we'd converse in a separate thread that I would create for this topic. That way, other people her might benefit from the conversation as wall. That said, if you'd prefer to discuss this privately, I'll take what I can get.
I have a ton of questions but wouldn't want to burn you out. If you could manage a response even once every 90 days, that would do me. I'm playing the long game with this.
I suggest you post over in the "Training and Nutrition" sub-forum where this topic has been raised many times, and where you will get plenty of opinions, including from at least one other smart and well-informed poster who is managing their T2DM with training. My scientific and clinical background comes in handy, but I would never hold myself out as any kind of expert in exercise physiology or metabolism: I'm just learning this stuff along with everyone else. I will contribute anything I consider helpful, time permitting.
