Type II diabetics working out should ideally take amino acid
capsules (specifically EAAs or BCAAs) immediately before or
immediately after training to maximize muscle protein synthesis
and manage blood sugar responses. For optimal safety, they
should be taken 30 minutes before, with consistent monitoring of
blood glucose levels.

Pre-workout (30 mins before): Provides energy and helps manage
blood sugar, as acute intake can stimulate insulin, helping
transport glucose into muscles.
Post-workout: Supports muscle recovery and repair.
Best Practice: Avoid sipping them throughout the day, as this
can lead to chronic insulin spikes, potentially hindering fat
loss and metabolic health.
