Not excatly sure if it can lead to dependancy, however I do know HGH does play around with your blood glucose, but having said that, so does insulin and IGF.

It is said that growth hormone CAN cause diabetes because there are a number of short-term studies that show it antagonizes the effects of insulin , thereby inducing greater resistance to insulin, BUT

there are several long-term studies that show that insulin sensitivity is returned to where it was before hgh treatment. This might be because the improvements in body composition caused by hgh offset the any negative effects that hgh might have on insulin.

Personally, I DON'T think that hgh will cause diabetes, especially if you are working out hard and not eating refined sugar. I don't think it will be a problem.
