So, over in a thread on arthritis in shoulders, there was a link to the banned substances checklist.
I'm a type 1 diabetic, have been for 40+ years, so as a matter of curiosity, I thought I'd see whether insulin was a banned substance. It turns out it is in fact totally prohibited, I suspect primarily because it's an injected substance. So, my question is, what happens if I enter a competition where these things are checked? It's not injected in a doctor's surgery or medical facility, because, then I'd have to be there 4 times a day! How does it work? Cos, you know, without insulin I will, actually literally, be dead!
I apologise for the number of exclamation marks, I got a bit carried away typing this.
