Apologies in advance as I plan to ramble…
So for those of you who have been on this board for a while and followed my journey you know about my past issues with my poor reaction to blasting hormone and a bad case of hyperglycemia last year. After taking some advice from @b-boy I recently made another attempt at a blast starting about 6-8 weeks ago. Up until a few days ago everything has been fucking phenomenal - zero issues. Then all the sudden about 4 days ago I start feeling like complete dog shit - no appetite and I just want to sleep all day. I start thinking here we go again - too much Test or my E2 is out of whack. I ordered the typical lab work from privatemdlabs.com and make my Quest appointment. But as most of you know Quest sucks donkey dick and results these days typically take 7-10 business days.
For whatever reason I was reminded of my bout with hyperglycemia last year. Based on blood work a few months back I saw that I was starting to become resistant to Metformin and recently started Berberine. I obviously didn’t notice/feel anything at the time because I was on my maintenance diet eating 150-200 grams of carbs a day and now I’m closer to 500. My OTC at home blood glucose monitor is garbage so I didn’t even bother. I went into my fridge and grabbed a NovoRapid pen (thank god I keep a few on hand) and injected 20iu into my delt with a large Gatorade next to me just in case. No joke less than an hour later I felt like a normal human again.
For the last 2 days I’ve been injecting 10-20iu before my heavy carb meals. Zero issues other than some occasional stomach discomfort which I know can be typical for some with exogenous Insulin. Other than that I feel great and plan to continue this protocol until this current blast of hormone and high carbs ends. At that point I plan to probably go keto or carb cycle for a few weeks to hopefully get some insulin sensitivity back.
Excited to see how the rest of this growth phase goes!
Current hormone protocol:
800mgs of Test Cyp a week
No AI
50mgs Proviron a day (rotating monthly with Var/Winny)
5iu GH a day
PS - the reason I made this post is because you always see guys come on here talking about Slin and matching their diet to their planned Slin intake when really it should be the other way around…
