Moved my GH shot to pre bed and my fasted glucose finally looks normal, anyone else doing this?

Been on 3iu GH a day for a while and my last set of bloods had my fasted morning glucose up enough that my doctor flagged it. I was taking the shot first thing on an empty stomach. Did a bit of reading and moved it to right before bed instead, retested a few weeks later and the fasted number came back bang normal. Makes sense when you think about it, the GH spikes your blood sugar for a few hours after the shot, so jabbing fasted in the morning means you are drawing bloods right in the middle of that spike. Push the shot to pre bed and the spike happens overnight while you sleep, GH still does its thing but your morning fasted reading comes out clean. Anyone else made this switch and seen the same?

Did exactly this when my fasted came back at 130 on 3iu. Moving the shot to pre bed had the morning number reading normal inside a week, the spike just happens overnight where the fasted draw doesnt catch it. Berberine alongside helped a bit too if your doc is watching closely. Only downside for me was a few nights of sweats when I first switched but that settled down quick.

Good tip on the pre bed timing. Just keep an eye on it at higher doses, past 4 or 5 iu pre bed can bring on the night sweats and broken sleep. At 3iu you should be fine.

Switched mine to pre bed for the exact same reason, doc flagged my fasted glucose and moving the shot overnight sorted the morning number right out. the spike still happens it just lands while youre asleep instead of when you draw fasted bloods. at 3iu timing alone does it for me, i added some berberine too since my doc was watching close. only real downside pre bed is the odd night sweat but id take that over a scary fasted reading any day.

Moving the shot to pre bed is exactly the fix. The fasted AM jab spikes your glucose right when you draw fasted bloods, so the number reads high even though nothing is actually wrong. Pre bed pushes that spike overnight and your morning fasted reads normal while the GH still does its job. At 3iu timing alone usually sorts it, throw in berberine if your doc is watching closely. If you ever push the dose right up then mots-c is the next thing guys reach for to bring morning sugar back down, but that is just another peptide to jab.

Pre bed is the move, been telling guys this for years. Keeps the morning bloods clean and you sleep right through the spike. Simple fix that saves a lot of awkward conversations with the doctor.

Did the same thing last year when my doc flagged my fasted glucose at 3iu. Moved the jab to pre bed and the next panel came back normal, nothing else changed in my routine. I run berberine with my last meal too which seems to keep the numbers tidy when he is watching closely. Only catch is once I pushed past 4iu the pre bed timing started giving me night sweats, so there is a point where you are trading the glucose reading against your sleep.

Yeah that's exactly why pre bed timing works, the glucose bump from the GH happens overnight instead of right when you draw your fasted bloods in the morning. At 3iu you're fine managing it with timing alone, throw some berberine in if your doc is watching the numbers closely. Only downside I noticed shifting to pre bed was a bit of night sweats and waking up a couple of times, but that settled after a week or two. Lines the pulse up with your natural overnight release too so sleep was actually deeper once I adjusted.

In my opinion, excepted if you’re trying to cut, anything below 5iu should be taken pre-bed.

Sensible thread. Moving the GH shot to pre bed to clean up a fasted glucose reading is a well known trick and it costs you nothing to try. Just keep an eye on it if you push the dose up, timing only carries you so far before berberine or metformin has to come into it.

Yeah ive done the same and it sorted it for me. The fasted draw catches the glucose spike from a morning shot, shift it to pre bed and that spike happens while youre asleep so your fasted number reads clean, the gh is still doing its job either way. At 3iu you can manage it with the timing alone, throw some berberine in if your doc is watching the numbers close. Only downside i found going pre bed is at higher doses you get the night sweats and waking up, but at 3 its honestly not an issue.

Yeah the pre bed switch is the standard fix for exactly this, the GH spikes your blood sugar for a couple of hours after the pin so jabbing it fasted right before you draw bloods is about the worst timing you can pick. At 3iu the glucose bump is small enough that timing alone sorts it, throw in some berberine if your doc is watching the numbers closely and it tidies up further. Only thing to watch on pre bed is that if you push the dose up the night sweats and waking get worse, fine at 3 but once I was at 5 or 6 I had to move some of it back to the morning. If you ever do go higher and the fasted number still creeps that is when mots-c or low dose metformin comes in, but you are nowhere near needing that at 3.
