Sporadic Insulin Use

I’ve been using Humalog on some off days to boost recovery. I use 20iu on two days every other week. This means I am using 80iu total monthly. I also take metformin to offset any resistance issues.

I’ve been reading that insulin use is linked to cardiovascular issues but can’t find how dose dependent this is.

What potential side effects am I looking at long term considering I’m only taking 80iu monthly? Im planning on following this protocol indefinitely.

I’m also thinking of adding in a low dose oral steroid pulse on the weeks I don’t take insulin to really turbo charge things. I was considering Halo and made a separate post about this. On top of the insulin what health impact would this have.

Any feedback from long term insulin users related to health effects would be greatly appreciated.
