Insulin resistance from GH

skyblob · Mar 12, 2013

Guys, just wondering if I can tell if my gh is good because yesterday, i've took my gh shot post workout 4ui in delt IM. 30 mins later took 10ui humalog and took 75g karbolyn.. waited 1 hour and ate 80g carbs of rice. 30 mins later my meal I checked my glucose and it was kinda high. 6.8mmol...
Normally I take my gh shot in the morning and take my humalog at same dosage and eat same stuff post workout and my BG is normally at 5-5.8mmol max...
Can I say that my GH is good cause it increases my insulin resistance?
Thanks

Check your fasted blood sugar in the morning. You're making things too complicated.

You're not going to get a good reference reading when you're combining GH and slin. and testing around that time.

Like Z said the issue is when you're fasting glucose tolerance is impaired. Check in the AM.

Thanks for replying guys!
Tried it this morning. Bg was at 6.2mmol when woke up, took 4ui gh and checked bg 45 mins later, it was at 5.6, I ate nothing between. So I dont know what to conclude. Good or not ehe. At the price we pay gh in canada. Its normal i'm kinda skeptical about my gh

Thx!!

Good or not I found best to take days off gh I had been running some for a while 7 days a week and started to feel bad like I was kind of woozy like low blood sugar but in fact my blood sugar was high. I can tell you you don't want to become Diabetic-Inuslin resistant and if you are becoming insulin resistant you might want to get your stuff in check. I came off the Gh and started taking a bunch of cinnamon and chromium as well as started drinking a shot of apple cider vinegar and 1 glass of red wine ever night my blood sugar has recently gotten a lot better.

My fasting sugar got up to 120. All I did was take a few weeks off slin and gh. It came back pretty quickly. I always use supps like ALA and chromium, etc. and there is always metformin too if you need it.

Metformin works really well to combat (and eliminate) insulin resistance - for me insulin resistance is non-existent if you use it regularly (I use it on non-slin days 2x ED after my largest carb meals). I also know that TN has a glucose disposal agent that works well.

It's only been 50 days im on GH :S.. I think I will take it on workout days only. 4x per week in other words.. Im taking 2mg chromium per day. Guess my stuff is good

Your glucose was likely even higher than it would otherwise be because you ate sugar-like carbs. Unnecessary IMO. Just take the GH PWO, take the insulin 15-30 minutes later and then as the hunger is hitting start eating a meal high in protein and carbs like rice/potato.
