Does igf-1 bind to insulin receptors

[Marcus G]

Can't see why it would.
But igf1 lowers blood sugar through other mechanisms I believe,
and I also believe that low blood sugar leads to reduced insulin sensitivity.

But IGF-1 and insulin has very low affinity for each other's receptors.
I'll see if I can dig up some info on this.

I appreciate your response, the reason I ask is because I'm sure I've read it somewhat that it effects the insulin receptor to a degree however I cannot seam to find much info on it.
