What are the risks for a type 2 diabetic using insulin like growth factor for strength training?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Type diabetics can use Insulin safely at resonable doses. Insulin is not anabolic. Growth factor is anabolic, but is not insulin. "inadequate" or "fake" growth factor may be ineffective and dangerous. Consult a certified trainer or sports med physician.
