[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2331154, member: 223921"] Anabolic steroids will in all probability cause insulin resistance and a higher level of visceral fat and raise blood sugar levels. I have for several years been taking a corticosteroid (Prednisolone) and that is what has caused caused my diabetes. I do not believe the steroids would be reducing your glucose levels but I have on occasion actually had hypos as I have found that the effects of the steroids on IR and the bodies ability to deal with glucose to be at times not consistent that is it seems to have little holidays when insulin sensitivity kicks back in for a while. here is a link to an article you may have found it yourself but will post it any way. [URL]https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=198200[/URL] And this the study refered to I think [URL]https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160913184951.htm[/URL] By the way my grandson is a body builder and follows a strictly Keto diet there is no need for carbohydrates in order to build muscle. Also must add the term steroid abuse is not mine but the author's. [/QUOTE]
