That's a tough one. It really depends on how tight your sugar levels are. GH has been shown to cause elevated sugar! If your overweight and start low and go slow (ie .5 iu a day) I've seen people do just fine. If you have no fat it should't be messed with. And the general medical population says don't use it with diabetes. I can't condone it yet. If u must do it, and your not a brittle diabetic just check your glucose like crazy and titrate the units slowly!
