GH and Carbs?

Am I right in thinking you should have some high GI carbs after a GH shot?

Overall, how much of an increase in carbs do you guys do when you're on GH versus when you're not? I'm just starting GH, alone not with AAS or slin, and I typically only have carbs during/post workout and the morning. Should I up them a bit?
Thanks bros

BTW my goal is healing, leaness, and the general positive feeling, not mass.

When you first start taking GH, you may notice slight decreases in BG a couple hours or so after the fact, due to the elevated IGF-1. Overtime, GH will cause elevated BG (extended use).
You may want to take in some high GI carbs, but this will be a trade off. The increased insulin does increase hepatic IGF-1, but it also increases IGFBPs, which will reduce bioavailability of IGF-1. The simple carbs will also serve to help nutrient shuttling via IGF-1, since it also has an insulinesque effect, to a lesser degree. The lowered BG will be nothing as dramatic as with slin or even close to that with IGF-1 LR3, and it will also be delayed onset.....no big deal.
