Message: <blockquote data-quote="tim2000s" data-source="post: 970285" data-attributes="member: 30007">The reason for this is how, as a type 1, you use insulin. In a normal person, roughly 70% of Insulin is used by the liver after release into the hepatic portal vein - so only a small proportion makes it to the muscles, hence spiking insulin to increase muscle mass.As a diabetic you inject it subcutaneously and the majority of the injected insulin reaches the muscles first, with the liver receiving it later and in a smaller proportion. As a result, if you are looking to bulk up, it does give you an advantage.</blockquote>
