To take insulin or not? You hear all kind of rumors, but no one wants to break down the science or back up their rumors. I know a few that are true. (I DO CAUTION! ALL BB EATING EVERY 2-3 HOURS AND 5000 OR MORE CALORIES A DAY AND WALKING AROUND WITH 150,175 AND 200 BLOOD READINGS ALL DAY. YOU ARE CRUISING FOR A BRUSING. YOU ARE MAKING PRE-RESERVATION FOR TYPE II DIABETES. IT'S NOT IF? IT'S WHEN. 5 years ago. I had to make a choice. At 6'4 295- off season. The older I got the tougher it was for me to cut weight. At 295 lbs I was doing 2 hours cardio mid-day and 2 hours before bed. I was taking ton of clen and fat burners. My in-laws own abroad pharma(s). I always had access to real gear. I could not figure it out. I mapped my food, workouts every year to a (T). One day I'm in the pharma. My father in-law said let's check your sugar. After two- three hours each meal. My blood sugar was 165-170. Then it would spike during workouts and fasting it was 185-200. I'm still a young buck. No family history of these issue.
After this my father in-law had me take a very low dose of fast insulin. It was like 2-3 units vs the 75-90 grams of carbs which I was eating, my first four meals. This did absolutely nothing! After upping my dose slowly and taking a Accu-check blood stick 15 mins after the insulin. After seeing how fast the insulin worked with me and my carb intake. I later was able to cut my carbs down and cut back on the insulin and I grew like a baby giraffe. I only used it to push nutrients into my cells. I even got cocky and began using 1 1/2 before workouts (BUT ALWAYS MAKING SURE MY BLOOD READINGS WAS 130 ect Leaving me enough to fuel my workouts. Filling each muscle belly and obtaining the best pump. Beware 65--90 is to low for normal activities and you should never workout at this level. 100 blood stick readings and a little over is pretty much ok during the day but if you have a heavy leg day or your working. Get that sucker up to 130-140. To fuel you. The longer your levels are high. This is when the nerve damage, kidneys and dehydration sets in. Sometimes at night you may pee, 15-20 times at night, (no exaggeration). This is the kidneys trying to remove the extra sugar. It's dehydrating you and burning your kidneys out. Lot of guys mistake it for prostate issues.
A1C aka hemoglobin or Hb1Ac. This measures your average blood sugar levels over 3 months. This test will diagnose prediabetes and diabetes. I'm not advising to take insulin or not to. I just want to warn please get a ACCu-Chek from amazon or Ebay and keep a check on your sugar level readings. If you need to supplement. Please understand the negative part of not keeping sugar levels in check. You don't have to do year around. When you want to put on size or to counter balance the HGH which will also raise sugar levels you understand why your doing it. HGH and insulin works well. But never take both at the same time. Take HGH on empty stomach but then check your levels after HGH. Because if you have too high sugar levels doing your growth injections. I think your wasting your HGH; this is a whole different topic. (PLEASE DON'T WALK AROUND WITH HIGH BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS). Plese read below Educate.
1. The Role of Insulin in Building Muscle (and Bodybuilding) When glucose levels rise after eating, the pancreas releases insulin in order to drive glucose into the liver, muscles, and fat cells. Generally, high insulin levels cause a decrease in muscle and fat breakdown and a corresponding increase in muscle building and fat storage.
2. High blood sugar can lead to nerve damage called diabetic neuropathy. You can prevent it or slow its progress by keeping your blood sugar as close to your target range as possible and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Managing your blood sugar is an essential part of your diabetes care plan.at do bodybuilders use insulin for?
Bodybuilding is a task that needs a lot of maintenance and effort. Starting from heavy workouts, weight and strength training, strict diets, to taking medicines and steroids, bodybuilding is quite a task.
Bodybuilders are always searching for building and maintaining their muscles, and insulin is an agent that helps with this.
Just because insulin resembles the functions of other anabolic hormones, it is also said to fall under that category. However, insulin is not a steroid.
Anabolic hormones play a major role in keeping the body muscled and tough. That is why steroids often have a crucial part to play for bodybuilders.
Apart from anabolic growth and other hormones that help build muscles, bodybuilders also resort to insulin to keep the muscles maintained and avoid break down.
Insulin is a natural hormone produced by the body that helps absorb nutrients from the body. This is prescribed to diabetes patients who have trouble with either insulin production or functioning that causes improper digestion of carbohydrates in the body, raising sugar levels.

Insulin is given as a medical routine to diabetic patients to ensure that the sugars in the body are absorbed well.
Bodybuilders make use of this insulin for other reasons. It helps them to improve the absorption of nutrients in the muscles faster after workouts. This is primarily why bodybuilders use insulin.
As a peptide hormone, it assists in the quicker absorption of nutrients such as fats and proteins in the body. These are necessary nutrients, especially for fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders.
In addition to this, insulin also prevents or delays the breakdown of protein, fats, and glycogen in the body. This helps in the retention of mass in the muscles. In addition, this helps in muscle protein synthesis.
Glycogen is a carbohydrate stored in the muscles. Retaining this helps to keep the muscles fuller. This is why insulin is taken after workouts to promote glycogen storage.
In addition to this, when insulin is combined with other anabolic steroids and growth hormones, it can enhance their overall performance.
Although muscle gaining by insulin is not a much-recommended process, it can have significant harm on the body if not done with precautions.
Insulin is a pharmaceutical drug that aims to control and lower rising blood sugars in the body. However, over-exploitation or unfamiliar usage of this hormone can lead to lower blood sugar levels that can cause other health risks.
Hypoglycemia is a common effect of insulin abuse where one can commonly experience:
Therefore, insulin must be used in control when aimed at muscle gaining. Otherwise, it can be dangerous or even fatal.
This is commonly seen among diabetic individuals who take insulin. Moreover, this is also a serious issue as keeping the body weight under control is a major necessity for diabetic patients.
But how does insulin make you gain weight?
Insulin works to regulate the blood glucose levels in the body properly. The function of insulin is to absorb glucose in the cells of the body. However, the extra presence of glucose in the body’s cells can turn it into fat.

Too much presence of glucose gradually converts into fat and gives rise to weight gain. But keeping track of your calories and blood sugars can help to reduce these side effects.
Regular activity and exercises not only help to maintain your diabetes but also help with tackling weight gain due to insulin.
The dosages must be done correctly to avoid more such symptoms and promote healthier overall body management. Your healthcare team can assist you with added methods of keeping your body weight stable and under normal margins.
It is all about a careful routine and a healthy lifestyle.
Injecting insulin in the body assists in the synthesis of muscle proteins. This is what leads to adding more volume to the muscles. Hence, insulin injections are often used by bodybuilders.
On top of this, insulin injections also help retain muscle gains as they prevent the breakdown of these proteins. Therefore, the muscles can be maintained and preserved.
As discussed in the previous sections, insulin helps in the faster absorption of nutrients that help build muscles, such as fats and proteins.
These effects of insulin have been proven by studies as well. However, to include these gains, it is necessary to take all precautions and avoid any potential risks.
