Does anyone know a stable guideline for determining when to cease training.  Of course, I'm referring to the median between constructive stress and desrtuctive stress common to all humans, but i also has asthma and diabetes, which renders my metabolism especially vulnerable to glitching.  Does anyone know of sound exertion parameters for people with this sort of condition.  I've browsed around the internet and have found suggestions that range from "stop at the first cough" to "stop when your fingernails turn blue"!  Discomfoture is a matter of course, but I'm trying to avoid permanent cardiopulmonary damage.  Can anyone here provide information on the matter?

Sounds to me like you should consult a doctor for this answer!!!

If possible find a doctor who specializes in athletes and/or sports medicine because they'll be able to give you the best recomendations, but be wary of anything you hear in an open forum like this when your health and life could be at risk.

Of course, that would be the wisest option normally, but my doctor seems somewhat ignorant on the subject of athleticism.  He seems to think, for example, that muscle does not significantly effect metabolic rate!  As for the risk elements, your concern is appreciated, but my asthma is more often a severe inconvenience than a life threatening matter.  Weightlifting is per se a potentially perilous enterprise.  Weightlfters put themselves at increased risk for vascular rupture, cochlear puncture, myocardiopathy, or simply having heavy weights dropped on their body.  I just want to push myself without needing to sit for an hour afterwards...   :oops:

The only advice The Pimp can give is this:
With asthma, be aware of your enviroment and the conditions within your gym. Such as air conditioning, humidity and chemicals in the air. If it is a mere inconvienance, then change what workout you are doing if a mild attack happens or simply slow it done unable you begin to feel comfortable again.
Diabetes is a different matter and brings the most risk. Are you a type 1 (insulent dependant) or type 2 Diabetic? If you are type 1, it is best to have a training partner who is aware of your condition and can ideally help if anything happens to you. Type 2 all you really need to be aware of is your blood suger levels and fainting.
Other than that, all I's can do is go to a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and ask them for dietary advice and what you can do to help balance all your levels.
Berst of luck to you, dear Axel.
Peace

I'm a type 1 diabetic, but that is the disease that actually doesn't present too much of a problem.  Through trial and error I've managed to keep it balanced.

That is good. You know your weakness and have strived to quell them. I's salute you for such an endevour.
No other advice can truly be given without knowing you in the flesh and the rigors that you put yourself through duing the course of your regiments.
All that can be said, if you have not already done so, is to provide a list of emergency contacts and procedures to the venue in which you train in case anything sudden and untowards happens to you whilst you are exercising.
Nothing else can be said except: May good fortune be upon thee, dear Axel.
Peace

Thank you-  The emergency contacts contingency was a requirement for gym membership.  I assumed that was well nigh universal.

Not quite. Some gyms do and some do not. It has become a trend of late though that the Gym's insurers ask them to do such things to cover liability issues.
I's have been to some gyms where people have literally broken their limbs training and the gym does is hand them a bandage and call them taxi to the hospital. Very sad and very wrong behaviour.
But it is good to know that your gym requires such things of your, dear Axel. Best of luck to you.
Peace
