Incidentally, an endocrinologist I was seeing some years ago mentioned that diabetics that inject into their arms tend to develop "popeye arms", meaning they tended to be oversized relative to the rest of their build.
Insulin definately is a growth hormone-but I have never heard of this effect that you are mentioning with your arms. Too bad that I'm not on the pump, b/c I'd be tempeted to try that (arms used to be an underutilized site with me...)
