HGH and diabetes

Hi Guys,

Im thinking of doing HGH for about 6 months but have been reading that it is linked to diabetes. My goal in doing HGH isnt to stay on it for a long time, but to repair some of my ulcers (in my colon).

Can anyone please let me know at what dosages and or duration causes diabetes?... or does it not cause it?

thanks

It won't actually cause diabetes.
High doses of GH (generally above 6-8 IUs daily) will increase insulin resistance, making it pretty much necessary to use slin alongside it to avoid hyperglycemia.
But no, you don't just wake up one day while using slin and find that you're a type I diabetic.

it looks like 4iu a day is what im going to have to do to repair my colon so it looks like ill be ok but how long does it take at high dosages to become slin resistant?

You shouldn't have any issues at 4 IUs unless maybe if you're already pre-diabetic.
But where did you read that GH will help with ulcerative colitis? Not saying it doesn't, but I haven't heard anything about it.

theres just a couple studies like this one:

I've noticed I'm basically a type 2 now from the high doses of hgh. Fasted levels are fine but it's easy to go hyper now if i eat any simple carbs. When I dropped the hgh for a couple months everything went back normal though

I didn't have issues at 5iu. I'll say that

ok so with 5iu/day is 6 months a long time?

Pretty much the minimum for results

you seem to know alot about gh.....do you know what the dosage and timeline would be for me to repair my colon from ulcerative colitis?
..or maybe a general guideline for repairing organs and stuff like that?

thanks

[OnTheSauce]

Not a clue. Sorry brother

I ran into same issues dosing 10-15iu/d. Problem resolved once I took time off.
