Worrying Blood Glucose Levels

In the last year or so I've eaten ultra clean with usually one cheal meal per week, occasionally 2.

I then prepped for my first show for 8 weeks which was 2 weeks ago. Since then I've binged on crap with a lot of it coming from sugary crap!

I was toying with the idea of adding some insulin in for my rebound so thought I would take my BGL reading. The first time it read I think it converted to 126 mg/dl (it measures in mmol/l) I then didn't test it again for a week or so. Next time which was 2 days ago it read 8 mmol/l (145 mg/dl) the next day it fell within range, just.. At 6.9 mmol/l (124 mg/dl) then I ate quite a lot of crap yesterday and this morning it was 12.2 mmol/l!! (220 mg/dl) so I don't know for its a faulty meter (I hope so) or if it is fluctuation that much. These are fasted readings btw.

Can anyone shed some light on how bad this situation is and how best to rectify it?

Thanks

working in health care, those fasted readings are a little concerning. Imo, get a hemaglobin a1c level drawn. You can get it done for less than $40 without a doc with online blood work.

It evaluates your blood sugar over the past 3 months.
 
Start by quitting the binge eating.

Get your A1C tested
 
Statin can raise it as well. I am barely out of range. I speculate this is the reason
 
Thanks guys, will book in with my doc.

Would a GDA be beneficial here, Im not really up to speed on what it is exactly that they do but I think theyre supposed to improve insulin sensitivity?

If so which ones are good? Ive heard good things about iLoad.

Something is wrong here. Rule the meter out first. You were fasted 8 hours min? If so all readings qualify for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in the U.S. So iLoad would not be first line treatment for diabetes bro to say the fucking least.

Rule out the meter. Metformin ER 2 gm po qd, gymnema sylvestre extract 400 mg po qd (GS4 Plus), Cinsulin (Costco) 500 mg po qd 10:1 extract, ala 600-900 mg po qd. Start there. I wouldn't use anything else they give you until that didn't work and it probably will. No TZDs, sulphonylureas, etc. They all increase mortality, except metformin. Get the A1C. Family history of diabetes? If your meter is correct and you are fasted then you have diabetes but you can correct it likely or at least greatly improve. On GH? Good luck bro. It might be scary at first but focus, take the above, clean up your diet, in 3 months it should be resolved or greatly improved at the very least.

Thanks Rex, I am on GH yes. Ive been running it for roughly 9 months 1 year with a couple of weeks break for my comp 2 weeks ago.

What does po qd mean?

I was 12.2 the other day and today 6.3 mmol/l which I believe is in range. Seems like quite a big jump down in a couple of days. No family history of diabetes so I probably haven't messed myself up for good in 2 weeks of eating shit then?

I was going to try berberine as well, can't remember what I read about metformin that put me off now

I'd follow Rex's info! Great recommendations.

Not Rex. po qd means take orally daily.

I'd shy away from berberine due to drug-drug interactions mainly with CYP2D9/3A4 substrates... A majority of Rx drugs are substrates, ie; Sildenafil (Viagra), Exemestane (Aromasin), ect.

Need to get your A1C Checked out first thing.
Def do not take insulin and if you are on GH Stop it.
Start Taking Tons of Cinnamon Extract and R-ala with all Carb meals to better get more utilization of endogenous insulin.
Also I would also say take a little bit of time off the carbs if you are on the verge of becoming a type 2 it is completely reversible by going on a type ketogenic diet for a while. If you can get your bodyfat a bit lower you can get better insulin sensitivity as well. Cardio also helps with what you are showing doing am cardio fasted shall help burn off some stored glycogen.

OK, thanks bro.

Definitely going to ask for my A1C to be checked. Why do you advise I stop the GH?

Ive got a ton of cinnamon, does it have to be the extract or can I just eat a tsp of normal cinnamon lol

Sorry Rex, I didn't realise Metformin was a prescription drug. What does the ER stand for? Is it Metformin HCL I need and Im guessing its fine to take 1g twice per day?

Well I cannot advise anything but GH Can Increase Blood Glose levels and I have read could actually contribute to educing === Type 2....Do I know this for a fact No This is something that I have read. But also I had increased BG levels while on it many years ago and was eating 100% clean and was monitored by a Nutritional coach here which is also on banner at top and ifbb pro. I came off for a while and levels got better.

Get Metformin on alldaychemist.com and ER means extended release. Yes twice per day or even 500mg 4x per day if you really wanted to

Metformin can be utilized at times but best not to try and self treat with meds go to some natural resources before you begin metformin. Hell a good glucosal disposal agent would work well imo. Metformin can cause major gasteric distress and many other side effects that can go along with it. Best for him to clean his act up for a bit get body fat a bit lower and get more natural insulin sensitivity back.
