Need help to HGH side effects

Im using generic anyway only time i go hypo is post workout. Ill do blood sugar test because I start feeling "different" and it'll report somewhere in 70 which isn't a drastic drop but i begin feeling weak which is a giveaway sign for me. Ill have glucose sticks around for emergency but usually a meal does the trick. But nothing drastic like the OP of nausea or potential of fainting and other hypo signs.

Anyways only real way to narrow what is going on with the OP is blood sugar test for starters, if blood sugar is good the growth is probably junk
 
Hmm, I have identical sides as the OP, but I thought it was the T3 I'm taking. I'll have to check blood sugar tonight after I pin.

What does OP mean.??

Can you please post your results here, would love to here it.?? What HGH are you running.???

Running Genotropin, 2iu morning and afternoon. Might drop to 3iu once a day to save money.

Okay got it, thanks. :)

Thats how i run my HGH to. 2iu morning and afternoon. Do you also feel the worst after the afternoon shot like me.?? And not that bad after the morning shot.??

Actually mornings are worse for me. I usually fast until around 11:00AM but take the GH around 5:30AM just before working out. In the evenings I take the GH around 4:00 and eat around 5:30, so there's not much chance for low blood sugar. I thought it was the T3 because I put the stuff in my coffee first thing in the morning.

Okay what time in the morning, are you starting to feel bad, is the same time every day.??
Will you please post your blood sugar results, when you tested it.???

Ran 6iu the first seven days. Came the second week and I thought to myself shit I better dwindle down this shit because it is starting to look expensive [:o)]

I went through the first vial in half the time I was expecting. There must be more GH left in the insulin needle than I thought which is why I'm thinking of just pinning once a day, or maybe I could pin twice with the same pin and only fill it once? Probably end up with an infection, though.

Maybe around 7:00, but it's hard to say for sure. It sort of grows on me, getting gradually worse until I notice it. I'll post the readings when I take them. I'm thinking I should do it before pinning, then again in 90 minutes, then once more an hour after eating. Don't have access to a meter in the mornings, though, so I can only do evenings.

I had the same issue my first week flense where I was loosing IU in the process of mixing and injecting. I think I've figured it out. I was injecting twice swell, once in the AM upon awake and then in the PM. I found myself losing IU all the time having to draw back the plunger instead of just keeping it preloaded. Now I just keep it preloaded all the time. I also use the same skin needle. Ill exchange it every few days, I inject SQ so there is no mayor blood contamination issue on hand in my opinion. Also after a while the needle becomes dull from usage so it becomes harder or rather painful to inject. A lot of people i asked around actually do this to cut they're loses.

Something else to avoid losing the mixture is reusing the skin plunger. Remember because you draw back 10iu on a new plunger you'll actually be needing an extra .1 or .2 because of the top pin barrel that holds that significant amount.

I'm definitely going to start doing this. Probably still drop to once a day pinning, but use the same needle for 2 or 3 days. I have antibiotics on hand in case this turns out to be a bad idea :D
 
Work got in the way last night and by the time I got home it was too late to pin, much less get blood sugar before eating since I was eating on the way home.

This morning fasted blood sugar was 86 (don't know the units). I pinned 4iu and went to the gym still fasted. Blood sugar when I returned was 91. I hope that doesn't mean the GH is bunk. Anyone have an opinion?
 
I don't think it impacts everyone the same flense, its just a potential side and vary's with different metabolic processes. I also think its dose dependent and I believe you said you were running 2iu a day and being split? Anyways HGH is a key role player in decreasing glucose uptake, hence making you more insulin resistant. Again varies on different person to person.
 
After looking around the web and other forums, it looks to me like post injection blood glucose INCREASES. It's long term use that results in overall lower blood glucose. So 86 rising to 91 90 minutes after pinning is at least in the right direction. Not sure how accurate the meter is, though. Maybe BG didn't change much at all.

Well long term use of GH also varies person to person in resulting insulin resistant or sensitivity. I believe also reading it was dose dependent long term usage impacting your glucose intake. hyperglycemia/hypo varies person to person metabolic process. While food intake is our best source for glucose production it isn't our only one, or body provides mechanisms for production aswell. Hence probably why you didn't go hypo after fasting.

Did you train on empty stomach or did you eat breakfast? Often times blood sugar can get elevated in a fasted state because the liver dumps excess glycogen into the bloodstream when it doesn't detect enough food to burn

Yea, I almost always train fasted. I might try it again tomorrow since I have PT in the morning and no time to lift before work. PT doesn't count as training...
 
retested this morning with just PT between BG checks. I got identical results 86 and 91 - hope the meter works, lol. Since I'm only pinning once a day now, I'll test one more time before and after training, but without the HGH. That might be next week, though, before I have the meter, fasting and workout all aligned.
