Can AS cause diabetes????

[AS4life]

i've been feeling quite sick lately and i passed out today at work and my doctor said that i have been showing signs of diabetes. I told hiim that i had taken AS recently and he told me that it has been known to cause diabetes. I find this hard to believe since i have never read or heard of anything even remotely close to that.

I have never heard this before....

I think your doctor is messing with ya...to get you to stop

Well, you should see a doctor to test your glucose or insulin levels...maybe you're a diabetic??? Does it run in the family?

Not sure about AS causing diabetes, but over doing it on Carbs can cause type 2 diabetes. What is your BF? If it is high that is 1 sign.

What about if ur running slin' the wrong way? Wont that cause diabetes?

Steroids can not cause diabetes, period.

well i'm getting another opinion anyway, i never had a problem with him but everyone has their bias', so maybe he just doesn't like AS and doesn't think that i should be using them. Anyway to answer your questions i have about 4-6% bf now. I eat more carbs than anyone and as i am doing research this may seem to be the problem, but who knows. thanks for all posts

Are you mexican? Does it run in your family?

I don’t see how there could be any direct link between anabolic steroids and diabetes.

You would be more likely to get diabetes from soda and pop-tarts than from anabolic steroids

i don't know if it runs in my family, i was a foster kid since the age of 4, i don't know my parents.
anyway i have a friend who's a doctor(not same AS hating doctor) on my team, i know his credentials and he told me that it's absurd and that there are no known reasons for this to occur, there are many possibilities but none of them were relating to AS. So thankx for all your responses.

i'll be getting my results back next week and i'll keep you bros posted

Corticosteroids like prednisone and hydrocortisone can cause diabetes. Perhaps he is confused.

Anabolic steroids can NOT cause diabetes. Type I is purely genetic, type II is caused by insulin resistance due to long-term overkill on high-GI foods. Unless you've been trying to bulk for 6 years straight on nothing but glucose shakes, I'd say your doc is either trying to BS you into stopping, or else, like most doctors, simply doesn't know shit where AAS are concerned. Get it checked though bro, actual diabetes can kill you uncontrolled in a variety of painful ways!

At 4-6% BF it would be pretty crazy for you to get diabetes regardless of carb intake. Especially with the active lifestyle you obviously lead. Get it checked out by another doc bro.
