    Becoming Insulin dependant

    I have found that some say taking insulin for long period make us insulin dependent but some say it does not cause it at all (please see following article).
    I would like to know what you guys think regarding this matter, especially from exprienced user.
    I have been taking slin pre and post workout for 1 month and am getting good results so far. but I am afraid of becoming dependancy.



    STATEMENT ABOUT PERMANENT INSULIN DEPENDANCE
    This potential side effect has been WAY too hyped by the anti-insulin propogandists. The idea of your own pancreas shutting down insulin production due to exogenous use is silly, and requires massive irresponsible use over extended time periods. Using myself as an example, I've been using insulin for 7 months straight. "WHAT?! Why did my pancreas not explode long ago?" You ask. For a simple reason: responsible use. I think that peoples fear of becoming dependant on insulin stems from minor knowledge about the testosterone

    I was under the impression the issue was more with building up an insulin tolerance leading to diabetes. 20iu humalog is not what your bodies cells are expecting after a workout.

    Thank you for the reply. So you mean that we can be insulin dependant if we keep taking insulin for long period of time?

    I developed insulin resistance. 2 months ago I could shoot slin PWO and never go hypo. Thats not a good sign. If that is let go and prolonged you could develop type II diabetes. I have an in depth explanation I will dig up somewhere if need be.

    Did you get your bloodwork after that? Are your insulin levels back to normal after PCT and being clean for a few months?
