To date, I have made the most spectacular gains ever from Fina. I rarely make very substantial gains from AAS otherwise but usually keep most of what I do get. As for insulin, the jury is still out as I am doing that now with 3 mg (9 ius) of serostim 2X daily and I am actually on less than the prescribed normal HRT doseages because I am trying to extra clean out my system in preparation for going on cycle in two weeks and am on nothing more hormone wise. So far I have gained six pounds in a week AND leaned out. But my case is unusual--see below.
Well this "mystery" is for Geoff Garst. I recently have been experiencing elevated blood glucose levels. Considering that I have always tended to be on the hypo side with a nonfasting blood glucose usually between 70-80. Suddenly, a couple of months ago, the non fasting level was 144 mg/dl. Upon rechecking, the nonfasting level was 181 mg/dl and the estimated mean blood glucose from the urinalysis was 110 mg/dl. However, the hemoglobin A1C was only 5.9% which is normal . So we did a fasting set of labs two weeks later which came out at 148 mg/dl for glucose after a 12+ hour fast, estimated mean blood glucose from the urinalysis had increased to 120 mg/dl and the hemoglobin A1C, although still normal had increased to 6.2%. I am also showing some symptoms of diabetes, like my reading vision is sh*t anymore and I am constantly thirsty to name a few plus my toes feel weird--kind of numbish and yes there is a history of it in the family. The symptoms started a couple of months ago and have been consistent, not coming and going. So, because it takes forever to get an appointment with my doc, which is now next week (I had to make it a month ahead of time) and I was tired of feeling like crap, I started insulin--humalog to be exact. After determining what dose I would start with, I ended up finally with 25 IUs two times per day. I have not had a problem with it even though I do not eat ANY carbs or sugar but only whey protein (unsweetened) for the first up to five hours after taking it, I have had no signs of going hypo or any lightheadedness. So am I safe to assume that I have sufficient blood glucose to "mop" up this amount as I have been doing for a week now? I do keep some juice handy in case I detect going hypo or feel light headed but haven't had to use it. Also, I have noticed that I am really getting noticeably leaner but have gained six pounds and feel very pumped--I also gained 3/4 inches around my arms alone. Just looking for input.
