What is the length of use and dose of Humulin-r required to desensitize insulin receptors?
There is no single answer to this question. It will vary by individual and there will be lots of factors such as how much you use/abuse it, things that you do to resensitize or keep it under control (such as exercise, diet), etc. Best way to figure this is to measure your fasted blood glucose levels before ever starting use and continue as you use it. As your fast blood glucose number rises, you are becoming more desensitized.
Any use of it other than a prescribed medical use is an abuse and there isn't a specific time table for problems to arise with insulin sensitivity. There is no magic way way to eat or dose it that will avoid issues so long as your body produces it's own insulin. Insulin has no valid application in body building and don't let anyone one delude you into thinking otherwise.
It's impossible to identify the exact length and use because of several interacting and complicated factors.
