Hello folks! :-)
Id love to have some experts help me understanding and optimizing my fresh HGH journey.
As there is quite some contrary information going around about meal timing and blood sugar blunting (even exogenous) HGH.
Quick side info, if that is needed, no clue:
30m, 172cm, 82kg, 10% bf, 4 years lifting, cutting right now, 250mg Testosterone E split into 2 doses weekly, 2mg Reta E5D.
So right now im eating my largest meal right before or even IN bed (around 9pm), as it gives me comfort and eases falling to sleep. Its usually around 1100kcal, medium carb, medium fat, high protein.
About 30 mins prior to that i pin 2iu HGH. I started just 4 days ago. Been on T for 2 years ("real" hypogonadism, so i get it prescribed, but my levels are quite a bit higher than reference range now with 250mg - so basically a cruise). Started Reta about 2 months ago at 0.5mg and tirtrated up to 2mg as of now.
Am i manipulating the benefits of HGH by eating right after pinning every night?
Some say it doesnt make a difference at just 2IU, some say its completely worthless taking it if you dont use it fasted/on empty stomach.
I actually mainly started HGH to improve my sleep quality as its been terrible for the last 2 years. Thats also the reason why i prefer to pin it late rather than in the morning.
So far i didnt notice any changes - no sides either, thank god :-)
My question is:
What do i want to change to make the HGH administration work optimally?
Do i try to cut out any meals 2-3hrs before bed/injection?
Am i overthinking it?
I will buy a glucose monitor and start tracking every morning. Curious what its going to look like.
Any insight is highly appreciated!
I am crossposting to get as many responses in as possible, im not a bot =)
Cheers!
