Diabetes story - why I use Gear - curious of other diabetics out there

[Scrappy1]

I started because juicing to improve strength. Being raised on a farm in MO, finapix pellets grew on trees. Back then $12.50 for a box that would yield 150ml at 250-300mg. I could still eat a twinkie a day and have a six pack, but yet the power to lift heavy.

Here is why I continue, many are familiar with this: At 38 I was bit by a timberback in the left tricep. At 38 I was 5-10, 220 11% bf Im not a bodybuilder, but very happy with how I looked. Three months after bite, I feel horrible. A sugar test was run. I had blood sugar of 700, AC maxed at 14. Im labeled diabetic. First thing doctor wants is me to overdose at 2000 mg metformine and a but load of insulin. My pancreas was shot. I said no way, because that was only a band aid that I would have to wear for life.

With the help of some, including individuals on this site, trial and error; long story short - I am doing a 4 compound cycle. Within 6 months and since then, my sugar is a constant 120!!!!! Even though gear tends to raise sugar. This is amazing, but get this. My contacts have gone from a 4.25, now I wear a 2.25 Yes still blind, but got better as I get older. My memory, reflexes, and "old man issues" are a minimal. I don't have a constant woody like you young guys, but when the old lady wants I, its there.

I am not a doctor. But if steroids were legal for all, I could write a book and be a millionaire based on this LOL

No matter what, I am and will ALWAYS JUICE!!!! When used correctly, the benefits are tremendous My focus has shifted. Im done with the 20" arms but I refuse to die in my own piss when I'm 80.

I am now 42 200 with 13% bf I would love to see more talk about diabetics. In America, its the #1killer!!!

Happy lifting

Wait, you're saying that AAS "cured" you of diabetes? I have a feeling that you're leaving out some pretty important details here. I have a fasting glucose of about 91, an A1C of 6.1%, and am very mindful of what I eat - yet, that's only achievable with Metformin (not harmful in any way) and a large volume of exogenous insulin.

I've been at this for years, trying to undo damage caused by being hypogonadal for a decade. So if you truly somehow went from full-blown diabetic, to having a borderline glucose level WITHOUT meds, I'm ALL EARS.

For what it's worth I've pretty much run every conceivable cycle possible, minus a very few specific compounds that have a very idealized purpose. (like EQ)

type 1 or 2?
cured - NO! once diabetic, always are. between cycles, I creep up to 140-155 after 8 weeks. After 12-16 weeks, who knows? I don't have the balls to take it that far. Originally thought diet was everything, high protein, limit the sugars and carbs to a minimal. Test levels are HUGE for bodily functions as you know. Its like DECA, think of all the pharmacy companies that would loose money in the states if deca was legal.

Are you on TRT or do you cycle? If cycle, what are your Natty Hormone levels? Just curious.

I am type 2, with insulin resistance. I'm on insulin as I simply went so long, my pancreas gave up the good fight. Don't get me wrong, I ABSOLUTELY agree with you in that testosterone is VITAL in so many ways, as having low T wrecked me.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around an A1C more than double mine being even temporarily suspended by AAS. Tren does make me a little more insulin sensitive, but I still have to take my diabetes meds.

Thanks Half, such a delicate issue has to be treated by experts like you and Mega
