Where do you come up with this? Diabetes is a POSSIBLE side effect for SOME people. Your comment is way to cut and dry. A temporary spike in BG after injecting GH is not considered temporary diabetic.
In a sense, I do that, you're correct. Sometimes in order to help someone see the possible consequences of their actions, I put it as point-blank as I can.
So you're right, it's very cut and dry what I said.
But consider this. A member who is using 20 ius a day of growth hormone, 2x a day, is basically under the influence of GH all day long. About 12 hours is needed to clear 10 ius from the blood stream, just in time for another shot of 10 ius. During this time GH does three things.
1) It dumps fatty acids into the blood stream to make available. After all GH is useful for when we are starving - when blood sugar is low.
2) It blocks insulin's ability to inhibit gluconeogenesis. The liver is capable of making sugar from stored glycogen, amino acids. When insulin is present, this nifty little thing is turned off. After all, if insulin is present you probably just ate a carb-rich meal, so no need for the liver to keep pumping this stuff out. Well GH turns this off. GH blocks insulin's ability to signal the liver to stop making sugar. So now we have the liver free to pump out all the extra sugar it thinks we need. But we're not starving? After all we're "Eating all we want and still getting ripped because of GH". So now we have all the extra glucose that we're ingesting, and the liver isn't being told to stop making blood sugar so that continues unabated.
3) It causes Insulin Resistance. Now, even I am too daft to completely grasp these mechanisms, but if science has learned one thing about GH, it has learned that it impairs insulin's ability to store glucose. By screwing with stuff like pi3k, GH has effectively made insulin have to work twice as hard to get our glucose back under control. No worries, that pancreas will just pump more out. Until it just can't anymore. Whether that takes a year of 20 ius or not I don't know. No one really knows because we've never really had access to this amount of GH at such a price that allows us to use this much for extended periods.
So we know three things GH does. We definitely know it raises blood sugar. Is this a temporary spike? Well I guess it depends on the amount of GH you're using and the amount of times you inject throughout the day, no? 10 ius injected subQ twice a day for a total of 20 ius would effectively leave you with higher than healthy blood sugar ALL DAY. And let's not pretend that this subject is fasting the whole time! No, he is most likely indulging to his heart's content. After all, GH is MAGIC and he needs ICE CREAM and PINEAPPLE JUICE in order to MUTATE.
So the subject now has higher than healthy blood glucose levels fasted, but he's not fasting. Well at least his cell's are sensitive to the effects of insulin. Right? RIGHT? Nope. They're crippled. A couple of the key methods of opening up a cell using insulin in order to drive sugar into storage have been turned off. It's going to take twice as much insulin as it normally does to keep trying to bring back down blood sugar. And just as soon as insulin has done it's job of storing away blood sugar, the liver pumps out more because it isn't receiving the signal to stop doing so. And the user just ate some pop-tarts, the kind with the frosting on the top. Oh and did I mention this is the user's off day? No workout today, just eating and sitting at the desk for 8 hours.
This doomsday scenario I'm painting here is just that. It's a bigger than life picture that I'm using to make a point. The truth is, the scientific world does not have a lot of evidence of what will happen to someone who is using this amount of Growth hormone for extended periods. The closest we can come to this is to look at acromegalics, who probably pump out this much naturally. Most of them die from diabetes or complications thereof.
But again, even this worst case scenario I'm painting isn't that far fetched. And it probably wouldn't be a big deal. If the user did this for a couple months and then resumed a normal routine, the body would slowly bounce back. But we're talking about GH now that's affordable enough to run almost indefinitely at these doses. Believe me, I make very few absolute statements, but I feel extremely comfortable saying that if a person were to continue to eat a loose bulking diet, use 20 ius of GH a day for an extended period of time, that person runs a very serious risk of developing diabetes, or experiencing nerve damage related to the temporary diabetic state he has acheived.
And remember - this temporary high glucose. Add up over a year how many minutes your glucose rose above 150. Two minutes a day? That's incredibly conservative of me. So after a year you have 12 hours that your body was being poisoned by excess sugar in the blood stream. And make no mistake - excess sugar is POISON in the blood stream. That is why diabetics go blind and have legs amputated. Because they let blood sugar remain elevated temporarily, day after day after day.
