Why didn't they just purchase it from a pharmacy? It is cheaper and legal.

you would hope that a man in his mid-40s would have enough wisdom and maturity to see the tragedy of the situation regardless of how moronic the individual who created the situation for himself was. instead you choose to shout your insecurities by saying i told you so as if you were some type of prophet. well done joke-local.

darwinism at its finest..

and who the fuck buys insulin in amps?  sounds shady.. regardless the problem probably wasn't with the substance, but rather how he took it and at what dose and his carb intake afterwards.

Cruel.
I would think you'd be the LAST person to mock someone for self-inflicted injury.

Didn't you have a sick young family member this month?

Thats the thing, I saw the potential tragedy along time ago when people were saying it was "safe" and saying I was full of shit. I wasn't EVEN trying to sound like I was insensitive, I feel for his family, I really do, but this just goes to show that people who don't do any research and DO NOT want to hear what the possible negative effects are will always be at risk especially when it comes to something as what I call "volatile" as insulin for non-medicinal purposes, now, I don't have any way of knowing how many other people became ill because of this, but I'd be willing to bet this guy wasn't the first.

People have to do their own research, look to medical professionals and read, read, read. You can't go by what some professional bodybuilder does and have them say it's "the safest thing you can do", for Gods sake it's commonsense.

Everything ever written on insulin on the bodybuilding forums have always had these huge warnings, how it can and will kill you if you mess up. I've never seen anyone say severe hypoglycemia isn't a serious potential side effect.

It's not a drug to overdose by "mistake".

Of course he wasn't the first. There have been several similar news reports.

If there still is doubt about what normal people think of bodybuilders:

"Struth, if this story is as reported, then this poor sod wasn't exactly a candidate for Mensa in the first place, taking 'black market' drugs to aid bodybuilding!"

LOL

Thank god the public (or government) doesnt know all that goes into a bodybuilders body
