BG lowering supps while on rHGH

[Whacked]

Only 2 iu's of rHGH day BUT on ketogenic diet (healthy fats) and man is this a bad combo for post-prandial blood sugar from protein meals. Blood sugar from eating 45 grams of plain grassfed ground beef burgers (0 carbs) and coconut treat (coconut + cocoa + stevia .. 3 carbs) and a greens shake (2 carbs) ...and I fell asleep. Lol.

Checked my blood sugar 1.2 hours after I ate and it was 114. Wth. Mild hyperglycemia.

During keto, you get physiological insulin resistance (not pathological resistance) as a protective mechanism. Not a concern. Also, gluconeogenesis occurs via protein ingestion can occur (and obviously did).

Not really wanting to get off my rHGH so what is the best supplement I can take with meals to lower this glycemic response?

Me thinks Berberine is my choice. Rivals Metformin according to several impressive studies I just read.

With or without food? Does it matter?

You could be having some protein turn over. Idk how high your protein is or where your fats are at. Are you true clinical keto or more bro keto?

Either way Berberine HCL is clutch for lowering BG. Take it before bed imo if on a keto. You could also do it first thing in the morning.

Thanks Distilled Bro-Keto for now. Lol.

Manu - Berberine said to rival Metformin pound for pound

maybe for lowering Blood sugar lvls. But metformin has tons of other health benefits + is dirt cheap

Yup, yup, and yup! Biggest surprise I got when doing 'True' Keto - had to drop protein to under 70g. Blood Glucose and BHB Ketone strips - if people aren't using them, they're fooling themselves.

I'd think Cinnamon and Berberine would be hard to beat from both an effectiveness, and cost standpoint.

Yeah. Sucks not being able to eat all that much meat. Lol
