blood sugar level to high...

[Misery13]

my buddy called me and told me his blood sugar level was 400 and that he was taking 50mg a day of dbol and 500mg a week of test...has anyone ever heard of AAS causing someones blood sugar level to be so high?

[juicenchris2989]

on my first or second cycle they did my diet back then wasnt as good as it is now but what i did was i lowered the dbol dose my 10 or 15 and it lowered i mean it was still high till i finished my whole cycle but it did lower

[lex57]

basic human physiology is that steroids will increase you blood glucose levels. now to what degree all depends. there are many variables too. did he do a fasting blood glucose test or just go take his glucose level after just eating or drinking? this will cause numbers to be high. get some more info from him. if he has a hba1c test done it will give him a 90 day average of his levels. but 400 is really high. norms are basically between 70 and 120. but as i said if he just ate or drank then they can be higher. so more info is needed.

[Misery13]

hes taking test eth

[lex57]

yes i understand that, the test and dbol will elevate his levels. and as i said so will eating a large meal and drinking a soda so it may be a combination of things. the main thing i am wondering is when did he check his levels. if it was first thing in the morning before he ate or drank anything then it is a lot different.

[juicenchris2989]

also if he drank any liquor the night b4 could have some affect on his levels

[Misery13]

he went to the hospital and they took it...it got up to 573...now hes on meds to lower it...hes been drinking alot I told him to stop completely...he has and now it's back down to the 300's...thank you...

[juicenchris2989]

holy crap 573 shit lol make sure he stop drinking for a while lol

[lex57]

alcohol will absolutely raise it as well ..... yes you are a good friend to try to intervene. however it is very hard to make people understand how serious it is. but type II diabetes can be controlled in a lot of cases with proper diet and exercise. and it sounds maybe he is headed down this road if it still is at 300. it needs to be about 100 to be under control.

[Misery13]

I'm waiting on him to call me back to tell me as to when and how the hospital has him checking in blood sugar level...and yes I told him to stop drinking period untill he has his body back in order for awhile...

[Misery13]

yeah well I have alot of friends to come to me for all things related to AAS...I help out with there cycles...doses...etc...

Blood Sugar Control
Cinnamon may significantly help people with type 2 diabetes improve their ability to respond to insulin , thus normalizing their blood sugar levels. Both test tube and animal studies have shown that compounds in cinnamon not only stimulate insulin receptors, but also inhibit an enzyme that inactivates them, thus significantly increasing cells’ ability to use glucose. Studies to confirm cinnamon’s beneficial actions in humans are currently underway with the most recent report coming from researchers from the US Agricultural Research Service, who have shown that less than half a teaspoon per day of cinnamon reduces blood sugar levels in persons with type 2 diabetes. Their study included 60 Pakistani volunteers with type 2 diabetes who were not taking insulin. Subjects were divided into six groups. For 40 days, groups 1, 2 and 3 were given 1, 3, or 6 grams per day of cinnamon while groups 4, 5 and 6 received placebo capsules. Even the lowest amount of cinnamon, 1 gram per day (approximately ¼ to ½ teaspoon), produced an approximately 20% drop in blood sugar; cholesterol and triglycerides were lowered as well. When daily cinnamon was stopped, blood sugar levels began to increase. (December 30, 2003)

Test tube, animal and human studies have all recently investigated cinnamon’s ability to improve insulin activity, and thus our cells’ ability to absorb and use glucose from the blood. On going in vitro or test tube research conducted by Richard Anderson and his colleagues at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center is providing new understanding of the mechanisms through which cinnamon enhances insulin activity. In their latest paper, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Anderson et al. characterize the insulin-enhancing complexes in cinnamon—a collection of catechin/epicatechin oligomers that increase the body’s insulin-dependent ability to use glucose roughly 20-fold.. Some scientists had been concerned about potentially toxic effects of regularly consuming cinnamon. This new research shows that the potentially toxic compounds in cinnamon bark are found primarily in the lipid (fat) soluble fractions and are present only at very low levels in water soluble cinnamon extracts, which are the ones with the insulin-enhancing compounds. A recent animal study demonstrating cinnamon’s beneficial effects on insulin activity appeared in the December 2003 issue of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice. In this study, when rats were given a daily dose of cinnamon (300 mg per kilogram of body weight) for a 3 week period, their skeletal muscle was able to absorb 17% more blood sugar per minute compared to that of control rats, which had not received cinnamon, an increase researchers attributed to cinnamon’s enhancement of the muscle cells’ insulin-signaling pathway. In humans with type 2 diabetes, consuming as little as 1 gram of cinnamon per day was found to reduce blood sugar, triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and total cholesterol, in a study published in the December 2003 issue of Diabetes Care. The placebo-controlled study evaluated 60 people with type 2 diabetes (30 men and 30 women ranging in age from 44 to 58 years) who were divided into 6 groups. Groups 1, 2, and 3 were given 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon daily, while groups 4, 5, and 6 received 1, 3 or 6 grams of placebo. After 40 days, all three levels of cinnamon reduced blood sugar levels by 18-29%, triglycerides 23-30%, LDL cholesterol 7-27%, and total cholesterol 12-26%, while no significant changes were seen in those groups receiving placebo. The researchers’ conclusion: including cinnamon in the diet of people with type 2 diabetes will reduce risk factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.(January 28, 2004)

The latest research on cinnamon shows that by enhancing insulin signaling, cinnamon can prevent insulin resistance even in animals fed a high-fructose diet! A study published in the February 2004 issue of Hormone Metabolism Research showed that when rats fed a high-fructose diet were also given cinnamon extract, their ability to respond to and utilize glucose (blood sugar) was improved so much that it was the same as that of rats on a normal (control) diet. Cinnamon is so powerful an antioxidant that, when compared to six other antioxidant spices (anise, ginger, licorice, mint, nutmeg and vanilla) and the chemical food preservatives (BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), and propyl gallate), cinnamon prevented oxidation more effectively than all the other spices (except mint) and the chemical antioxidants.

The Benefits of Cinnamon for Those with High Blood Sugar
A study shows that adding a little cinnamon to the diet can help to lower the blood sugar of diabetics and others with blood sugar problems. The findings show that one of the benefits of cinnamon is that it can lower blood sugar levels on average by 20% in a matter of weeks.

-------------------------------------
Cinnamon has many health benefits. It has shown promise in the treatment of diabetes, arthritis, high cholesterol, memory function, and even leukemia and lymphoma.

No...doubt its the AAS. Could be diet induced or full blown diabetic

[J*U*icEd]

im thinking its the drinking or a diabetic!
