Message: <blockquote data-quote="SamJB" data-source="post: 1038078" data-attributes="member: 45322">Sounds like you know it already, but some steroids are well known to increase insulin resistance.There are two things that can bring it down. The first is exercise. Exercise brings extra insulin receptors to your cells' surface, meaning you need less insulin per gram of glucose. Hence your insulin sensitivity improves. Secondly, I've shifted a load of weight recently trying to get into shape for my honeymoon. My insulin sensitivity has almost doubled. I've gone from 1 unit of Novorapid per 6 g carbs, to 1 unit per 10g. Apparently, it's internal body fat, the stuff around organs that has the largest affect on insulin sensitivity.</blockquote>
