    HGH can cause insulin resistance (type II diabetes) over time, LR3 help with insulin sensitivity, so I would say LR3 would be the better choice.

    Yeah, I know IGF-1 is insulin like growth factor. I am saying I will never use straight insulin injections as some guys do.

    So insulin resistance from HGH occurs because insulin is used to create IGF-1 in the liver? And since, IGF-1 doesnt need conversion there is no problem?
