anabolics and diabetes

[upperhandy]

i know no that this is not the place to come for medical advice, but i thinking this might be a good first place to begin my investigation. Soooooo:

does anyone here have any good info about the use of anabolics for those who have diabetes?

my gf's father is an adult onset diabetic (he's not fat, but more likely genetic predisposition and stress factors brought it on)
was type 2, but more recently began taking injections to manage blood sugar so type 1 now.

he has been having lots of trouble keeping weight on and has lost 30-40 lbs over the course of the last 2-3yrs and still slipping slowly.

he's 62y 5'6" 130#

is the use of anabolics safe for the likes of him?

which kind?
what dosages?


thanks for any advice, and i will be sure to run it by a doctor first...

i'm a diabetic and use with no problems. But your grand father should be seeing an endocrinologist for his diabetes. Have him check his hormone levels. His endo can put them on if needed. I wouldnt self prescribe at his age. He may have other issues or his diabetes causing his weight loss
