    Starting doses are usually around 500mg p/day. Max dose no more than 2000 - 2500mg p/day. If he is diabetic I suggest he has a chat with his doc.

    Would it be better to use IGF-1 if one is diabetic?

    When taking 500mg a single dose daily is fine. However, once you start taking more it is recomended to take multiple doses througout the day.

    You're best of speaking with a doc about exact dosing times, but they are usually around meal times.

    I don't recomend diabetics using any compounds which effect blood glucose.

    IGF isn't as harsh on your blood glucose as HGH or insulin , but it defenitely does effect your blood glucose.
