question about metformin with slin and GH

[bigron2828]

I have got quite a few metformin tabs on hand, 250mg a piece. I currently only take them on my cheat day after large meals, 500mg if I have around 100 carbs, 1000mg if I go wild and have a pizza or something like that..... In 6weeks I start my clean bulk, was curious about using metformin with my gh and slin. I have used slin and gh several times but have never mixed the metformin in with them. Is there any benefit to taking with slin and gh? I will be taking 4 units gh when I wake up, after my workout 10-12ius slin, and 4 units of GH mid afternoon. Should I take any metformin after my protein/carb meal an hour after the slin? Should I take it after any of my meals that have 100 carbs in them? ( only 2 meals a day have at least 100g of carbs) or should I just save them for the cheat day? Dunno if it matters but im at 465g protein, 350g carbs and 95g fat each day and saturday is my cheat day. thanks in advance for any help

I've read that metformin makes slin very unpredictable.

well if I dont take the metformin after my pwo meal I should be able to take it later in the day as the slin will have for surely cleared within 4 hours (humalog)

In that case you should be fine.

Is there any benefit? Back to my original question... should I just save them for my cheat day or is it something that will actually help throughout with the slin and GH?

Metaformin lowers IGF levels. I thank Datbtrue for that info as if I had not known i'd still be on it daily.

The only benefit I see them is for a cheat day. You dont need your IGF high all the time but i'd def avoid taking metaformin around the timing of your GH. If I ever use it again it will be if I eat a whole pizza or something and would rather not have a massive insulin spike and just deal with the lower igf levels for a few hours.

thank you... so I will just keep taking them as I do now on my cheat day after I eat a large meal.
