Has anyone experienced lowered blood suger levels on human growth hormone - somatropin - or even test? I am on test Deca-Durabolin - nandrolone decanoate - human growth hormone - somatropin - I have just went through a bout of just feeling drained this week didn't want to lift or prctically fuck (well I still did that ok) My wife took my sugar level at the gym today and it was 69 I took sugar pills and started to feel better.

You got my PM. I fell asleep in the car (parked) once. I felt like the bottom dropped out of me. Took a big slug of Gatorade and a nap. Woke up 15 minutes later feeling fine.

Thanks for the pm. Yeah I was just worn out did not want to lift my suger was @ 69. I am adjusting my meds for lower dosages @ more frequency. also eating small amounts more time per day. oh and sugar tabs at the gym. so far it is working. I am tracking it back to an injection of test and deca where the syring was @ 3 cc I think that was too much at once but I was going away for the weekend and wanted to load up.

As an anti-aging physician, I cannot believe you guys do stupid stuff like that...take a clue from your body...you got low blood sugar because you are screwing with your metabolism the wrong way. Unless you are over 40, you don't need human growth hormone - somatropin - and you shouldn't be shooting the test unless your physician knows EXACTLY ALL TESTS TO DO (beyond T and free T)...you may need to have your 3AG levels checked along with the dihydrotestosterone to check for your 5AR activity levels...those can screw with your sugars but they normally don't.
You also have to watch all of your lipid levels using a VAP panel (not just a simple level of total cholesterol, HDL and LDL) because shooting test can and will screw your lipids up.
The somatropin CAN and WILL cause Type 2 diabetes (no matter how muscular and lean you are) if you take too much. You need fasting glucose levels done and your Hgb A1C level done. The first should be less than 90 mg/dL and the latter should be less than 5.5%. If either one is higher than listed, you need to drop way back on the somatropin and let your doc know what is going on. You CANNOT stop the insulin resistance with the excess somatropin except to lower the dose or stop it. Another option would be to switch to Sermorelin since that won't cause any sugar problems at all.

Thanks for the advice doc. I am 49 My doc orders test,nan, and 2 iu hgh/day I will rec the VAP panel and the fasting glocose testing to doc when I go and get bloodwork. Sugar levels have been within range I have tailored the HGH to 1iu/day until I see doc.

Is Sermorelin a brand name human growth hormone - somatropin - or a precurser of HGH that is similar?? Does this have the same benfits results as somatropin?

I find all this fascinating.

I'm 49, too. Not a bodybuilder, but am in damned good shape, lean and muscular. Most of the youngsters in the gym where I train think I'm no older than 35.

I lift three times a week (need a recovery day), am also a cyclist and tennis player. I eat clean, take creatine on my lifting days, Oxydrene, MegaMen and glucosamine.

Am I big? No - but I'm not trying to get big, either. If I wanted to, I could do it easily; I know what to do to get there (naturally). A lot of people do think I'm a fitness competitor.

It's interesting to read these posts, though. It's never crossed my mind to do all the stuff you guys do. Don't want to take any chances with screwing up my body.

What did you guys do before you started cycling this stuff?

Never assume you are reading postings at this site from people with no experience, intelligence, training and/or the guidence of top physcians. We share information with each other and our Drs because so much is unknown and to be discovered.

I am not stupid and your opening line is an insult. I see you claim to be an anti-aging Dr. I read what you wrote and I am not impressed.

Every step I take in my anti-aging program is under the guidence of my Dr who is on the staff at the University of Michigan and St. Joseph's hospital. I just submitted blood for testing in over 23 different measures. I do this every three months. Each patient on his program is a bit different due to life style, adherence to the program, age, background and genetics. We all are constantly moving along the health lines and learning.

HGH is an important component in my program. The change it has made together with testosteron, a-dex, other supplements, diet and exercise is amazing.

I will continue to recommend such a program as mine and HGH.

As for you ... You are on Ignore.

I was intrigued by this thread and agree that for a "claimed Dr." his 'bedside manner' was more than a little off, not to mention his choice of words.

Interesting thing is there is an anti aging doctor named William R. Work, and he does work at an Anti-Aging and General Practice clinic in Fresno Ca. So the question is, is this post writer an imposter, or is the Dr. a little out there?

 

[goin on 4T]

I will find out soon enough. I am going to make an appointment to see him next week.
Are there any specific questions you want me to ask him other than to see his wall?
