Insulin Resistance

[Sgt. Hartman]

Good info GB.

You should definitely get a blood glucose monitor, they're ridiculously cheap and easy to use. I paid more for a pack of glucose test strips than I did the meter.

I've been trying to monitor my blood sugar levels for a while now but don't check it nearly as often as I should. I was concerned GH was causing insulin resistance and/or hypergly***ia but my blood sugar levels are always very low. I guess that means I'm insulin sensitive which I guess is a good thing.

I've only tested my blood sugar when I've been sticking to my good boy diet but I've been meaning to test it after having a dozen crispy cremes or something lol. If I remember to do it I'll post up the results in this thread.

During my stints of checking my BG, my results were pretty crazy.

Upon waking my levels were well below average.

After meals they were about average or lower.

It took me like 3 donuts, chocolate milk, a candy bar and other crap in order for my levels to reach high/normal levels. I rarely went over 80, even after huge meals.

Went to grab more strips this morn and they werent in stock at walmart. Gotta run to cvs on lunch.

Mine doesn't stay quite as low as yours but low enough that at first I thought something might be wrong with me lol.

I've eaten probably close to 200g carbs today and in the last hour (pwo) I've had a cup of oats, a banana and a big white potato, blood sugar is 82. I've never seen mine over 100.
