Abd then when they downsized their face started to look a bit normal again
Sure if you are doing 10ius year round for multiple years maybe it wont
Fantastic glucose control. That’s ideal. Besides preventing diabetes from creeping up on you, it’s a great anti aging move. Most visible, and a lot of functional aging comes from advanced glycation endproducts, aka AGE depositing in tissue. In simple terms, it’s blood sugar that becomes oxidized. As it deposits throughout your body, it hardens tissue, so you lose skin elasticity, your vision degrades as lenses aren’t as flexible, blood vessels stiffen increasing blood pressure, and on and on. It just keeps building up over time. You can usually see the visual effects clearly develop first in feet (thickened, dry heels from damaged collagen pads). Most diabetics have feet that look wrecked. A1C actually indicates the average glucose level over the last 3 months by measuring .
It absolutely rules out insulin sensitivity. If your fasted bg is fine you are not insulin resistant. Has nothing to do with compensation etc. pancreas is compensating for now? Meaning you believe I’d be making myself diabetic at some point by using higher dosed gh? You do realize it comes down to food more than the gh itself right?
Of course it’s an oversimplification, this is telegram not a peer reviewed paper. But even with a perfectly functioning pancreas, high sugar consumption will cause glucose spikes that, if it’s a consistent habit, will increase glycation.
I’m not a diet absolutist, I eat everything, but I definitely treat added sugar as poison. Especially in drinks. Just as a mental shortcut to ensure I keep it to a minimum. When I eat carbs I include protein and/or fats to keep the spike down.
A CGM is a real eye opener to the way your body reacts to food in real time, and in my experience using one for just a few weeks often reshapes the way people eat. It connects food to glucose to the way you feel after eating. Highly recommended.
Which is what I don’t think will takes into account. I am not speaking on account of the random users who eat shit all day long dont train etc and just use gh for the fun of it.
I train extremely hard compared to most, do cardio 30 mins/day 7 days a week. And eat extremely clean. There is a reason when BG creeps up we pull back food, so the pancreas isnt getting put into a spot of resistance.
If my two markers are in line, thats all im concerned about. If fasting BG was consistently high, we know the pancreas is no longer doing its job. Regardless of what fasting insulin is.
