GH makes me tired?

[nsashbl01]

I am only taking 2iu/ed, which I take immediatly upon waking in the AM. I have pretty unstable blood sugar, so I don't want to take it later when I can have negative effects on my insulin / blood sugar levels. I am having a tough time staying awake and alert all day. I've only been on for 11 days though, so maybe my body needs to adapt? I have read and been told that many take it at night due to the fatigue, but I fear that it would not be smart for me? I'd appreciate any input from experienced users......

sounds like a blood sugar issue, how long after you inject do you eat?

Varies. I have tried just after, and up to 2 hours. Makes no difference. I'm more tired late in the day. More than usual at least. I can tell when my blood sugars messed up, I have paid attention to it for 25 years. My mom's a type 1 diabetic, so I was brought up by someone that is very cautious! I have not checked it recently, but I certainly have not been hypo since starting the gh.

So if I did take the shot at night, how long after I eat, and how close to bed time?

I would try afternoon before I did evening. I am considering trying afternoon myself. I do my GH in one am shot and I also feel tired by late afternoon or early evening...much moreso than usual.

actually its just as likely that GH will cause HYPERGLYCEMIA, due to a blunted insulin response/sensitivity

I'm feeling sleepy more than usual also. I'm on 2iu's day of Nutropin AQ now, just coming up on the 1-month point. I sleep like a baby at night, but I doze off more easily during the day too. And I eat every 1-2hrs, so I doubt it's blood sugar. I think it's just a side effect GH has on some people... as long as I see a decent improvement in my physique I think it's worth it
