The effects of GH on systemic glycemic control is complex partly due to its indirect effects via insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which has glucose-lowering effects similar to insulin. For instance, adults with GH deficiency are paradoxically associated with abdominal obesity and insulin resistance, which may be partly associated with their reduced IGF-1 action.
Your dosage and duration of GH as well as age, body mass index (BMI), and family history of diabetes all can factor in. The main thing I did when I started GH with my HRT therapy 3 yrs ago(the gh part). It was only .8iu and we built up to 2iu for first 6mon. I d didn’t really notice “ALOT” until the one year mark and I blasted! (using multiple protocol). The main thing I did that year was take my B/G many times daily to see how the hormones, my macros/types of food & Meals. I kept a log and found what types of food raise or lower my numbers. I also was testing GDA (natural supps) like 99% Berberine HCL, R-ala, also I used metformin too. I didn’t even need levothroxine until i raised dosges. The older the person , the more quickly the gh benefits show themselves. My benefits: could eat alot more kcals w/o Any excess Bf, I wound only usually blast two times per year and I would keep alot more of my Gains(even growing more for up to months. The test strips/monitor , bloodwork, and learning about your body is 1000% the way to go. If a person is just sing for anti-aging, skin/joints/hair; it usually 1.5-2.5iu daily. Because of my age : had most succes doing : 3 large injections IM post workout was the most noticeable. I used ibutamoren on non gh days , now I use a peptide blend on my non gh days . I am seeing and hearing (even my MD) but IDK about insurance. Using a glargine insulin which is a {Lantus/Basaglar} long acting insulin. It can be used in one AM dose w t4 or cytomel. Dosages vary bigtime and a person needs their MD or professional. My physician believes that I should start using a morning dose (say 20 or 30units), he is proposing that I split the dosage in half(taking it twice daily : AM and after post workout gh . There are so many types but Lant/Lev/Tresiba/Toujeo (these are a more safe insulin and actually very anabolic & beneficial! (with physician/trainer supervision). Some use novolog or humalog pre or post workout and with high carb meals or cheating. I haven’t taken that step but my doc said that according to my notes; I will have a much better experience and increased/augmented my experience. The short acting Insulins are very quick and you need to have a whole protocol w tests to get your dosage(danger). I just want to Keep my sensitivity high and I’ve been successful somewhat with supplements but; nothing like the guys I train that use a long acting (on bulk usually), they also use Novolog , some use N Or R , mixed. The MD SAID 0.1 unit per kg of body weight split into am/pm ; then move to .2units per kg . I will go from their. The pumps these guys have and just the sheer size (are : competitors/Amateur/Pro).
*So strips, Monitor, food/supp log, glargine insulin and thyroid med or supp improves a lot of things. Would not be neede for just a short time user of gh and/or an non competitor/sports/work. Once thing In Mexico that is still real . All the Elderly groups go to CN and Mexico to bring over border for the low income /impoverished.
They did have 100unit/ml 10ml vials , but the pens seem just a bit more and the 32g/4mm needle tip(use for gh/peptide ) I Cannot even feel it ; plus there are a lot more places to inject w the 4mm (even on top,flat side of bicep section) beyond around abdomen:hips thighs .

Of course this is not advice in any way. shape or form. It is for reading and entertainment purposes only. Also, I haven’t used yet. (Not one of my BB buds take tne Lantus twice as it lasts 16 or more hours. (It’s too long to explain) He’s a trip.
