Few competitors graced the stage and won as diabetics, let alone became prominent bodybuilders. I was advised I’d have endless health complications, so I diligently watched my food intake and learned. I wanted to see how my body worked, and overshot. I was one of the biggest bodybuilders around, and graced the cover of magazines. I played into strengths (mass), cut hard (dieting wasn’t an issue for me), and relentlessly showcased the best symmetry for my frame. I ended up writing the world’s first encyclopedia on diabetes & muscle building – The Diabetic Muscle and Fitness Guide.
