I have diabetes 2, I'm taking galvus met 50/500 twice. Fast sugar is 95-110 and PP 135 -150. My simple question is can a diabetic or patient of my condition can do body building. Is there any precautions in terms of how much weight or in terms of protein intake should be there? Can they take protein supplements?

Yes, you can go to the gym. You would not need anything special (not even suppliments) if you are intending to stay fit and healthy. But, if you want to go for body building then you need to monitor your health regularly. You would need the support of professionals (nutritionist and doctors) and a good certified instructor so that you can stay safe and march towards your goals.

You can definitely do any exercise you want. Start slow and pick up the pace. You can take sugar free protein supplements
