[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2388635, member: 362123"] Welcome to the forum no one wants to be a member of. That story your nurse told you isn't worth a grain of salt. Most likely the bodybuilders ended up T2 diabetics at some point from simply over eating glucose loaded foods. Which includes a lot of starchy high carb foods like pasta, rice, bread etc. That is part of the point in taking insulin for bodybuilders who simply do not need insulin. So they can consume more carb rich foods so they can get bigger. Insulin is the most powerful anabolic steroid there is as far as I know and that's the other part of why bodybuilders use it. When you pile in more insulin on top of over producing insulin from the pancreas you're going to be sure to create insulin resistance. So they become Type 2 diabetics. It's a really bad idea to do what they do. Have you ever had a c-peptide level done? This measures how much insulin your pancreas is producing, if not enough then you will need insulin. If it is producing enough then you wouldn't is the general theme. Something to consider asking your HCP about. Type 3c certainly isn't a straight forward condition and it varies from person to person. Nothing is easy about any of this. [/QUOTE]
