Am I becoming a diabetic?

@luki7788 @b-boy do you guys know if there is a connection between how sensitive you are to insulin and your fasted blood glucose levels? For instance, high fbg means you need more insulin to go hypo? I'm not sure if I'm explaining right, tried looking it up online but couldn't really get me an answer.

Generally, if you have good morning blood glucose levels, it's rare that the post meal blood glucose is bad. And generally yes - the lower your sugar in the morning, the more insulin sensitive you are, so you need a lower dose

To verify if you are insulin resistant you need to check:
Fasted glucose
Fasted insulin
Hba1c
Lipids(HDL LDL Triglycerides)

This should be enough to tell you a lot about your insulin sensitivity state.

You can suffer from dawn effect, which makes you have high glucose in the am, the after a couple of meals you will be fine....
Usually on an healthy guy Metformin fixes dawn effect, but still if you want to go more in depth about your state you need more bloods.

Worst case scenario is:
High lipids
High insulin fasted
High glucose fasted
It's 99% insulin resistance, you need to diet down and i would even add Metformin before bed.

I really doubt that HGH can screw you so bad at that dose.

I like this post, thank you very much. I just got out of a cutting phase which is part of why I'm so surprised. My BG was fine until I got tested positive for covid and started the Hgh but indeed, at 2 iu it shouldn't mess up my levels that much. This morning I again scored a 6.1 on my FBG.

I take berberine, chromium and Ala in the morning and evening but might try to find a good source for metformin. Will also order a bloodtest for the things you mentioned. Thanks again man!
