I&#8217;m a white belt in the jujitsu, but I want to start competing in about six months or so.<\/p>\n<p>I was taking meds for the first five months of my training, but things are a little trickier in practice now that I am injecting insulin.  My temptation is to just carbo-load without an injection before practice, but I know it is better for me to strike a balance.<\/p>\n<p>My workouts are between one hour and two hours, and fortunately I have not gone low yet.  My greatest fear is that I&#8217;ll go low right about the time I&#8217;m being choked out while rolling, and I won&#8217;t get a chance to tap out as a result.  I guess I&#8217;m wondering if anyone here does these kinds of workouts, and do you need to carb load, or does you liver dump enough glucose to get by?<\/p>\n<p>The nicest part of the injecting for me is that I&#8217;m up 15 pounds since I started the insulin.  Guys that used to throw me around can&#8217;t do that anymore, and it&#8217;s easier for me to maintian positional advantages, wrist control, etc with the extra weight.  If I do ever compete, this will come bak to bite me in the a$$ when I try to cut weight, but for now I&#8217;m just happy not be frail anyore.<\/p>\n<p>Has anyone here had to cut weight for any kind of match?  If you also inject insulin, did your weight cut involve any cutting back on your insulin dosage?<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all, I just did a search on this forum and had no hits on anyone training in MMA or Jujitsu, so I thought I would start a thread and see if there is anyone who trains.
