How Can I Not Become Insulin Resistant While Using GH?

Q: Could you please give us some advice on how to keep from becoming insulin resistant while using GH twice daily (AM and PM) rather than once before bed?

A: First, of all avoid junk food, meaning hyperglycemic refined carbohydrates and trans fat. Second, eat carbs in moderation and preferably consume slow-release starchy ones (sweet potato, brown rice, oatmeal). Third, use metformin or berberine, plus chromium picolinate, vanadyl sulfate and alpha-lipoic acid to support insulin sensitivity. Fourth, take GH under low blood sugar level, in order to avoid further glycemia out of its use. We know that growth hormone is diabetogenic, by the release of glucose from the liver glycogen to the bloodstream, through a process known as gluconeogenesis, by the glucagon hormone.

Always check out your A1C every three-month period, and note that you can’t safely start the use of GH if it’s >5.5%. But also check your fasted serum glucose levels. It should be <85 first thing in the morning and <120 two hours after a meal.
