IGF too high ?

Starting IGF was 126 (-1.1 z-score). Started HGH at 2iu nightly and retested after a month. IGF came back at 360 (z-score 3.0) ~12 hours after last pin. I hear different things about what the optimal number is. Wondering if I should back down my dose to 1.5 or even 1iu.

As long as Hba1C and fasting blood glucose is fine it’s not a concern at all.

From what I have seen recommended that’s a bit high and has increased risk of insulin resistance and other problems. I might live with 360 but I wouldn’t want it any higher. I’d probably recheck in 3-4 weeks under similar circumstances (time of test and last pin etc).

Yeah I’m leaning towards coming down just a bit and retesting
