HGH Blood Work - Should I Be Concerned??

[SuperTonk]

I've been running HGH (3ius per day) for 2.5 months. My knees started swelling so I got some blood work done and although my Hemoglobin A1c was in the normal range at 5.4%, my fasting glucose levels came back at 106mg/dl (7 pts out of normal range). Should I be concerned about the glucose levels? Would appreciated anyone's thoughts/experience on this matter. Thanks, in advance, for the help.

I always say if you are going to run GH, you should always keep an eye on blood glucose levels. GH can make levels go up. Insulin sensitivity goes down, glucose levels go up.

Do you use a glucose meter on a daily basis when running GH?

I would check it at least once a week. Best it to test fasted and non fasted prior to starting the gh. This way you get a baseline of where you are at. Then test once a week or so and watch for any big changes. Believe me, when your B/S is high, it will fuck you up.

I have a baseline of 86 mg/dl, so 106 was quite a shock. Is the best move to stop the GH for a while and get back to my baseline before slowly restarting the GH?

I say this from experience. I did not have a baseline at the time. I ran kefei gh for 3 months at 5 iu per day. I had all the classic symptoms of type 2 diabetes. One day I checked my B/S about 2 hrs after eaten some pasta and it was 361. I was like, "holy shit!"
I immediately stopped the gh and went to dr. Dr put me on metformin. I never told them I was doing gh. I really don't use the pills, and in like 2 months, my B/S came back to normal. I don't know if it was cause I didn't slowly amp up the dose or what? Because I did a 5 month run of hyges and had no problems.

Fuck 361? I would've freaked out too!!

I'll look into the metformin. I really appreciate all of your help. Thanks a lot!!

Trust me when I tell you. I do not claim to be an expert. I can only tell you my experience. Hopefully others can chime in. But what I do know is that gh will raise b/s levels. 361 was not a happy place for me to be. pissing every 2 hrs at night, thirsty as hell all the time, tired as shit all the time to. When B/S is high, it is because the insulin receptors are not opening up to let the glucose enter the proper places. that's why you get tired, cause the glucose give you energy. And the reason why you get thirsty is because your body's reaction is to try to dilute the blood with water.

This is all great info. Can't thank you enough. Hopefully some more ppl will jump in with experiences too.

Why not use the pills that's absurd , if they help use them. Also check anything else you cycle .

Some bodybuilders actually pay big money to use metaformin . You should know that

Because once I dropped the GH, my B/S levels came back to normal.

I douse metaformin when running slin to increase insulin sensitivity if you got type 2 diabetes most likely genetic and the Gh could of aggravated it to come out earlier.. This is a common debate if GH perpetuates pre existing conditions like cancer ect to come out and this debate could probably go on forever so no one really knows...

No worries. I would worry if it was over 120 fasting or 140 postprandial.
