I am an athlete, I have been supporting myself with various pharmaceuticals for several years. I am considering taking insulin - can I count on my doctor's help in this matter?

Where did this idea come from ?! Insulin lowers sugar levels and can cause hypoglycemia, which is a dangerous condition not only for your he alth, but also for life. When playing sports, your muscles use up sugar in addition. Low sugar levels are bad for brain function. I don't think a doctor will write a prescription for insulin for a person without diabetes.

Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
