A member asked:
If a body builder takes insulin as a steroid, what are the chances of becoming insulin dependent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Going to cause insulin dependence. But could throw your body into some major stress. Not good to use insulin unless you are an insulin dependent diabetic. Several different options for body building. But this could cause issues
