I understand that Bialar Crais' OP was about alternatives to anabolic steroids.

He has stated that he is a diabetic and that he works out 5-6 times a week.

Let me make a couple of assumptions. He would rather that his glucose tolerance was higher than it is, ie that dietary carbs elevated his blood sugar less than they do at present.

Second assumption. He would be pleased if his muscle mass increased. He would be pleased if he was able to progressively lift heavier weights, feel better doing it and not be as aerobically knackered doing it.

If he uses six ampoules of Sustanon 250 he is no more likely to suffer any harm than a person who smokes six packets of cigarettes is likely to develop lung cancer, I would say less risk.

He will, if he works out as he indicates, build about 5 to 8 thousand grams of muscle. He need never lose any of that muscle even if he never uses steroids again.

Actually, it was more about if there had ever been any scientific studies done about the effects about such alternatives. Manufacturers claims extreme results, and scientific evidence, but never gives refs.

True.

Actually, currently my blood sugar levels are very good. I'm more worried about going too low into hypoglycemia at the end of the weeks (I hardly need to look at my damn injectors to go down too low)... Of course, BEFORE I started my current training regime I did have problems to get my blood sugar levels down...

I would not cry if it happened, but I ain't about to take any injections/pills of anything to achieve it. Dietary means, and heavy workout is enough for me.

No more risk than a 6 pack/day smoker is of getting lung cancer?

Well, thanks for the info. It is appreciated. But no, I will not take anything extra to build muscle, or increase stamina.
