taking HGH on empty stomach

[cgar1228]

How important is it to take HGH on an empty stomach?

I have a problem with this b/c I eat constantly! I read that you are not supposed to eat 90 minutes before HGH injection or 90 minutes after inj. I can't really find a time when I don't eat for 3 hours!! I usually inject in the morning & night Or only at night if I don't have time in the morning. I usually inject right before bed so I suppose I could get my last shake an hour before bed and then inject.... My main concerns about this are:

a) Will my chances of becoming insulin resistant increase greatly if I don't follow this rule to a tee?

b) Will this reduce the effectiveness of the HGH if I don't follow this rule?

Thx for your help. Karma to all!

I always take mine in the morning before I eat anything.

Thanks, I'm considering a different time to take it as well. I have naturally borderline high IGF-1 levels so taking it at night when my body starts producing it anyway doesn't make a lot of sense. I may start taking it in the morning or right before I lift in the afternoon when natural GH production is low.

Take it in the morning as on an empty stomach, taking it at night can supress your bodies natural production.

I take mine right after i work out. 5-7 IU's i do it IM injection. I drink a gainer right afterward though. Ive heard not to do it. Im still alive though. I dont feel anything negative and my BG stays in the normal range.

I dont think it matters as long as your general diet is in order.
I take my HGH AM and again PWO.

That's probably the best time to take it for best muscle recovery/growth from the gym from what I hear. I read that taking GH in the same time span as something that could spike your blood glucose could exaggerate that response and possibly give you type 2 diabetes. Your insulin resistance gets effected from these spikes in BG. If your not seeing any abnormal changes in it then I guess I wouldn't worry about it either. I am a little concerned about this b/c i have diabetes in my family and this is essentially why I asked the question. Thanks for your response bro.

Take it in the morning as on an empty stomach, taking it at night can supress your bodies natural production.

Do you think if you stop taking HGH then your natural levels will be effected permanently or think they will recover like when you take Testosterone?

I had some trouble sleeping last night. Could this be because I am used to taking GH before bed and yesterday I took it before my before my workout?

its hard to tell from the fact that you only missed out on sleep for one night. after changing your dosage from right before bed to earlier during the day you need to monitor your sleep patterns for a whole week before making a conclusion.
