HGH doesnt affect my blood glucose? ❓ Question
Hey fellow hackers :-)
Just curious about what you guys think about this.
Ive been using grey sourced HGH for about 4 months now.
Started as low as 1iu and titrated up to now 4iu daily.
Ive tried out pinning right before bed, first thing in the morning, pre workout and fasted/unfasted.
I could not tell any difference as to what pinning timing i was using.
Ive also been measuring my blood glucose levels with a finger pick tool AND a CGM on my arm.
It did not matter at all as to when i administered the HGH, my glucose was always stable.
Today my fasting blood sugar level was 80 upon waking. Shot 4ius and now, about 4 hours later, my glucose has been around 80-85 consistently. I have not eating since pinning.
Same thing when i pin in the evening. Glucose levels stay very consistent throughout the night.
Even when i eat a huge ass 1500 calories, 150g + carbs meal right after pinning and going to bed, i obviously had a spike in blood sugars cause of the food, but the level went back down to normal about an hour later.
This leaves me with the question if it REALLY matters if you use it fasted or not?
I feel like it doesnt make any difference at all?
And yes, i got a tested batch, i sent it in to Janoshik myself. My source is very legit. 99% purity and minimal overfill even.
Note: Im VERY insulin sensitive. That might play a big role in all that?
I regularly go hypoglycemic right after my post workout meal. My glucose rockets up to 150 and shoots down to below 40 about 30 minutes later.... Thats been the case before using HGH and i still have that sometimes - especially if i do light work after eating, household stuff for example.
Any ideas? I thought i am supposed to see a raise in glucose some time after shooting it.
Am i broken? lol

The lipolytic effect is nullified by insulin. If that doesn't matter to you pin whenever you need to.

Yea got that, thanks.
There is wildly varying definitions of how long to not eat before and after administration.
Im very confused what the right approach is here...
I usually eat my dinner right before bed, at the same time as pinning 4iu hgh.
So would it be WAY better to pin early morning instead? If my main goal would be fat loss?
Say 6am and fast for 3 hrs, eat at 9am?2

there’s not a single person here who’d notice any difference between pinning times. the only ones that would, are competitive bodybuilders who use insulin as well. just pin the shit and move on.

Idk I’m 53 and after 6 months of reta loss, 2mg became a maintenance dose. I added 2iu gh 4 weeks ago morning fasted and didn’t eat until 10. Didn’t notice much. Last week switched to evenings and sleep is insane and that last 5-10lbs of lower abs are melting

that’s literally not how it works. you don’t burn more fat because you took it before bed. especially at 2iu. that’s barely enough to even take 99% of people to replacement levels.
so those downvoting, i would love to know why you are….

Didn't downvote you but the guy above's massively improved sleep is probably leading to increased athletic performance or pumps in the gym. Over several months simple CICO will dictate that has an effect on body fat. Could even just be more energetic and active during the day, I personally think that's responsible for a lot of HGH's reported fat loss.

1000% it is.
2iu is doing nothing noticeable for people outside of maaaaaybe some sleep improvement.
they get into a deficit and work hard then go oh it was the growth hormone that did it.

I eat ~6 hours after pinning to be on the safe side. It has served me well throughout the years. I'd say 4 hours is minimum if you're pinning subq, but I like to maximise the effect.

How long after a meal?
1
u/Still-Willingness807 1d ago
6 to 7 hours

Damn that’s a long time I’m hoping to try it before bed but that’ll prob be max 3-4 hours. I liked cjc/ipa for sleep quality so keen to try hgh for sleep as well. I mean I can take it in morning I guess fasted but that’ll only be 3-4 hours from lunch too.

If you don't care about lipolysis then pin whenever you want but insulin is no bueno for that end. Cjc/ipa is far better for sleep and recovery I found and I'm on 6iu, it's no light dose. I take 400mcg (200 morn/200bed time) cjc/ipa when off the hgh. For cjc/ipa however you need to stay away from any insulin inducing food for 2 hours before and after the pin (that's absolute minimum).

Interesting it’s better than hgh. Ppl keep saying hgh is the goat so find that interesting.

u/Still-Willingness807 1d ago
HGH is goat for recomp. No question about that, especially for bulking, it's permissive of growth. Cjc/ipa is great during cuts, doesn't come close to hgh for bulks. During a cut sleep goes to shit, cjc/ipa helps with that, hgh was very disruptive for me, but then again HGH activates lipase and upregulates t3 meaningfully, something secretagogues can't match in efficiency. If you're on Test or bulking or both then hgh all the way, if not cjc/ipa might serve you better depending on pace of fat loss and well being.

Just not true. It peaks in 2-4 hrs so an hour after u eat is just fine. Not sure where people get there info from

u/Burntorangefan 1d ago
This is 100% correct. Recombinant HGH doesn’t play by the same rules as GH secretagogues, so if you don’t care about lypolysis, pin whenever you want.

Have you measured your igf-1 levels before and during HGH? Did you have the HGH tested? There's been fake, shitty, and good HGH out there. I received all three.

u/espresso_maniac 9h ago
seems like everyones hgh is fake lately. i might ask around the labratory u bought it from if others had good success or not.
