I have not seen evidence reported here in the forum before, so you may be the first to report this. I hope you manage to get the right treatment for both of these problems.

Yes, I do. The effects of excess growth hormone make it very lkely that you will develop diabetes mellitus; although I'd guess it's really Type 3d. GH makes peripheral muscle use free fatty acids rather than blood glucose; it also promotes the generation of glucose and breaks down glycogen into glucose as well.
