But I'm just curious if insulin has a ill effect on a "normal" body. Anyone know?
If you are given enough insulin and you are "normal", you'll risk hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). As a "normal" person, your body will kick in mechanisms to raise blood sugar, but it is possible to take too much external insulin for your body to overcome, in which case you could go into a coma and even die. The fix is simple--sugar.

Insulin is one of the most powerful anabolics you can take, so you'll hear about bodybuilders injecting insulin and eating more to force additional nutrients into cells. So, there are apparently "normal" people taking insulin for illegal reasons.
