Everything is great guys!
Got my X-Rays done on my back last Thursday and am anxiously awaiting results, I hope it is something easily identified.
As far as training and diet goes I am on doing great, I have increased my dose of IGF to 80mcg in two injections pre-workout. I have stopped using my preworkout supplement as it is just not needed anymore. My strength is increased on all weights, chest i am comfortably doing 120lbs dumbbell incline press, which is the most I have ever lifted. I am leaner and will be taking Body fat% measurements Friday. My weight overall has not changed and I am still floating around 196-200lbs. My lower back is still holding me back on strength exercises and leg day. I can still use smith machines and anything else that does not place pressure on my lower back, but hate being limited. As I mentioned I cannot break my snacking behaviors, I am trying though. Peanut butter is the absolute devil, natural, or un-natural, doesn't matter. If it is around I will devour it. Going to purchase some Yohimbe and hope this will help curb some of my appetite.
Powderguy, to answer your question, I will paste something I wrote earlier and what I have noticed testing my blood sugars before and after workouts.
"Another reason I know it is legit, being diabetic I am used to my blood sugars spiking after a heavy strength training regimen, this happens because your body releases glucose stores to help feed the demand on your muscles. I learned this from my Diabetic doctor after my blood sugars going from normal range (5-8, Canadian readings), to over 14 after the workout. Well yesterday, I had a reading of 7.7 pre workout. Everything was the same and when I left the gym I was hypoglycemic, which NEVER happens. I have noticed this over the past few workouts. This simple change indicates (to me), that the IGF-1 is working, and is legit."
I will do another pre and post test today after my chest and arms workout. My last meal before my workout will be around 8:00am, it will consist of 1.5 servings of fat free cottage cheese, and around 2/3 cup of blackberries. I will then test my blood just before I begin working out and again two hours later. This should paint a good picture as to what the insulin in my body is doing, since all my insulin comes from shots and is not produced by my body. I will also reference any Humalog(short acting insulin) I take in this time frame. Humalog on my body takes around 20-30 min to be in full effect and is generally all used up by around the 3 hour mark. I take one 21-24 hour Levemir(Long acting insulin) shot every night before work around 1030pm as well.
Update:
Yesterday was my chest and arms workout. As stated I had 1 serving of fat free cottage cheese and around 2/3 cup of blackberries, this was at approx 830, I took 6 units of humalog insulin to counter act the carbs from this food. I took 80mcg of IGF-LR3 around 8:40 along with 200mcg of both IPAM and MOD.
I arrived at gym around 9:00am and tested my blood sugars at 9:10, my reading was 8.8 mmol/L units or around 160 mg/dl. I did my usual chest routine and arms along with 30 minutes of 5-10 degrees of incline walking at 2.5-3mph with short intervals of 12mph sprints.
I tested my blood again at 11:00am and it was 6.3 mmol/L or 115 mg/dl. This is exactly what I expected. As stated prior, I was used to seeing my blood sugars spike after my workout as my body released glucose stores to combat muscle fatigue, it appears now that my body is not releasing as much glucose(if at all). On a diabetic this(prior to LGF) obviously means your blood sugars spike as you have not taken any extra insulin to combat the added glucose in the blood. On a non diabetic what this means(when taking IGF) is that your body is also not releasing extra glucose stores, and therefore will not release extra insulin to combat the rise in glucose. This is my assessment and by no means am I a doctor, I am just a very educated diabetic of over 16 years.
I also took measurements today for my body fat %
Using this method:

Chest = 4mm
Stomach = 10mm
Theigh = 14mm
Total = 28mm
On a 28 year old man this puts me right around the 8-9% range, which means that I have put on some solid muscle and lost some fat, as my weight has not changed. I notice it mostly in my stomach as I am used to seeing around 6-8mm measurements there. My legs are also used to being around 16mm. I think these readings are fairly optimistic in my eyes, as I visually feel like I have more fat than 8%. I would have to get some other types of measurements for a more accurate representation. What this allows is for however, is a single method of comparison for before and after.
Forgot to weigh myself LOL.

Amazon has an insulin cooler it's a small zip up bag with a cool pack. Works great and is cheep! No need to have the people at work know your business.
great idea actually!
For all the others wondering whether they can use igf 1 lr3 if they are diabetic, we have many posts here on it, as well as studies, showing it actually can help diabetics, and of course thats not to mention any of the positive bodybuilding or injury rejuvenating effects
