So I am just not keeping up with new PED related information as it changes so often these days. I used to be very knowledgeable about all of it and kept up with anything new coming out. I have just lost some of the interest as well as aging into other interests. When glp drugs first became prominent around here I was on top of all the newest info. I found Tirzepatide and Retatrutide went with GH like peanut butter goes with jelly. And have pretty much stayed on both together more often than not over the last half decade.
I’m getting older and starting to change my opinion on HGH. I have always seen it as just a youthful bonus hormone that is something you should use as long as you can afford it. I have always kept daily usage for any extended period of time to 6iu and under because I found my feet were growing easily in my late 30s on as little as 3iu daily. But I have primarily ran about 4iu year round for many years now. I’m starting to use less and less over recent times and intend to continue to lower usage.
Here’s where my questions arise… I’ve been off Retatrutide and all other glp drugs for several months now but plan on hopping back on Tirz real soon. This time I intend to use without as much GH as in the past. What differences can I expect from using Tirzepatide without GH? Obviously some of the leanness benefits of less/no GH will be noticeable. But what about the benefits of blood sugar offsetting? Any concerns here? Obviously the majority of glp users are not also using GH like we do around here but it’s a new world for me. Seems like the dosage combos of glps and GH I was using seemed to illicit perfect blood sugar numbers for me. Like I had found the sweet spot for using both together.
I don’t want any blood sugar issues as I age. It’s not common in my family but I don’t want using GH into old age to be problematic regarding affecting blood sugar so I intend to use less going forward and also using less often. I would just appreciate hearing from those smarter than me on this particular topic of lessening GH use… increasing glp use… aging and insulin sensitivity. How it all works together and what to expect going forward and any potential issues to keep an eye on.
I will admit I have not done a good job of being proactive with my health. Honestly I have just majorly benefited from good genetics and good fortune for the most part. I have VA insurance and haven’t even had blood work in well over a year. Never had my prostate checked or even my first colonoscopy yet. I’m 45 now. Honestly the most proactive thing I’ve done is testing my own blood glucose a handful of times first thing AM while using different amounts of GH. Pretty sure it’s always hovered in upper 80s to mid 90s. Despite not really staying on top of my health my blood work has always been pristine. On or off gear. Even tren and other toxic stuff like superdrol. I’ve even managed to keep good blood while using gear combined with rec drug usage. …I know, I know… stupid stuff but I have improved my behavior over the years and I would call the rec drug usage these days to be minuscule for the most part.
Sorry for the novel. I would just like become better informed on keeping tabs on health markers, especially glucose related, as we age and and continue using glp drugs and growth hormone. I’m hoping this will spark some deeper discussion about how these drugs work together and affect the users as we age. Hopefully this doesn’t just disappear with no interest because I’m not sure where to go to learn about the nuances any further.
