This is true bro! its a fact. From the my Docs mouth!
considering the direct effect aas has on cardiac tissue, i would worry alot more about a heart attack. diabetes would occur in someone who becomes insulin sensitive. high sugar pwo shakes are definately not good for you if you want to avoid diabetes.

1/4 of the US population is diabetic (including pre-diabetic) and doesn't know it.
Data from the 2007 National Diabetes Fact Sheet (the most recent year for which data is available)
Total: 23.6 million children and adults in the United States—7.8% of the population—have diabetes.
Diagnosed: 17.9 million people
Undiagnosed: 5.7 million people
Pre-diabetes: 57 million people
New Cases: 1.6 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in people aged 20 years and older each year.

In 2003–2006, 25.9% of U.S. adults aged 20 years or older had IFG (35.4% of adults aged 60 years or older). Applying this percentage to the entire U.S. population in 2007 yields an estimated 57 million American adults aged 20 years or older with IFG, suggesting that at least 57 million American adults had prediabetes in 2007.
The key is to follow a healthy lifestyle and a strict diet. AAS can cause insulin resistance, and when abused can lead to Type 2 diabetes. However, just FYI, testosterone replacement therapy is used to assist in diabetes. In fact, many studies have found that Diabetic men can have decreased testerone levels, and TRT can result in much better insulin sensitivity. This is theorized that the increase in estrogen that results from the T/E balance that occurs with increases testosterone, actually upregulates the insulin receptors.
Diabetes is not fun. I am type 2, insuline dependent. Not caused by AAS, but by auto-immune issues. Be safe, be smart, and cycle time-on-time-off, and you'll probably be okay. It's the "constant on" can subsequent constant insulin resistance that eventually causes it.

timtim is right. cardiovascular issues are far more predominant than diabetic issues for aas users. i would go so far as to say that some of them may even have been using slin as well, but obviously no one can confirm that. if i remember correctly aas generally lowers blood sugar... that in conjunction with slin.....

1. the heart is a muscle.
2. 17aa steroids mess up cholesterol bad.
3. nearly all aas affect blood pressure.
none of these require massive doses to cause heart attacks.

I've never heard it, and I'm doing what I do under the supervision of a good endocrinologist. I am guilty of fudging on the date of my last Test injection when I go for my blood tests, so the T levels appear lower than they really may be, but I'm not taking anything that the doctor doesn't know about. And he says nothing about diabetes, and I'm from a diabetic family. My blood sugar is always a little high, but I've been tested for diabetes many times and it's always negative, thank God.
Obviously it's the person's own responsibility to watch his/her own health, and you must also assume the responsibility of knowing you can hurt yourself either with hormone-modifying drugs and supplements, and with lifting weight, and with driving to the gym. Not to mention you could have the tire fall off a plane and hit you in bed.
