Hey there,
I always thought the IGF was the cause of elevated blood suger levels if you took GH over time as it also has the ability to bind to insulin receptors and over time they would be downregulated. Now however, I've heard that IGF actually increases insulin sensitivity. How is that possible? And what's the actual cause of elevated blood suger levels when taking exogenous GH then? Is it because when the GH is active, the body's insulin release is blunted? Or is the insulin not able to bind to its receptors anymore? If that's true, would it be different with GH peptides as the can only spike GH when Insulin is absent?
Could someone please explain? I just don't get it..
Thanks in advance
