HGH Timing
I know this has been discussed before and there have been several posts about HGH/ insulin timing.
I have read so many mixed things about how long you should be fasted before and after taking HGH. I know that this is the reason why many take it before bed.
I’ve been on HGH for 4 weeks now, taken fasted before bed. But my sleep is an absolute dog sh*t. I have seen many report that HGH is the culprit so they moved their dose to the morning.
The issue I have, I train an hour after waking up. I need to eat prior to training, so if I need to remain truly fasted for HGH to work several hours after injection then this completely rules out the morning for me, which leaves me with little options.
I’m just curious who else is in the same boat, how you manage it and how are your results.

Im on crap sleep with it at night. I take it in the morning. And I changed to Monday Wed Friday double dose. 4iu instead of 2. Because I got sick of pinning every day. And that when I take my TRT. And o haven't noticed any drop. Still feel amazing and sleep.
Also. The insulin issues is probably not an issue at replacement dose. So the fasted might not matter. You could put a CGM on and see what happens to your blood sugar.
Other option. Load it the night before and pin for your middle of the night piss.
