I am not an endocrinologist, but I am curious about the use of insulin in BB. Sounds good in that it does not carry a label such as steroids. Will not cause a lot of steroid side effects (cholesterol, hair loss, acne, etc). And is considered one of the most anabolic hormones in the body.
But what is the flip side? We all know about hypoglycemia, coma, etc. But what are the long term effects of the cardiovascular system. More importantly, would use eventually lead to diabetes? I know Milos uses the short acting after a workout and a high glucose load. But does this dysregulate your system and somehow years later you develop diabetes? Does anyone have any evidence of its long term safety? I am unaware of any studies, because we (the medical community) would never give insulin to a patient who does not technically "need" it. ie. why would we study it in people with normal levels of insulin? no need. anyone with more knowledge on this?
Just seems that once insulin came about, more pros started having health concerns. I know it may be due to other aspects such as diuretics, GH, etc, but makes you wonder.
