Insulin sensitivity describes how effectively cells respond to insulin and take up glucose. Many AAS compounds impair insulin signaling — particularly nandrolone, trenbolone, and high-dose testosterone — by interfering with GLUT4 translocation and post-receptor signaling pathways. This can gradually elevate fasting glucose and HbA1c, especially in athletes with existing metabolic risk factors.
