Our previous work has shown that increased levels of oxidative stress and reduced glutathione are not only present in older people, but also in people with HIV, a viral infection, and in patients with diabetes
Mitigation: Always dose post-workout (your muscle uptake of glucose is highest then blood glucose crash is less severe) Have fast-acting carbs nearby for the first several doses (fruit, dextrose) Never inject fasted Start at 20 mcg and assess blood glucose response before titrating Consider running a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for the first cycle Libre or Dexcom gives you real-time data If you're already running GLP-1s (Reta, Tirz, semaglutide), add IGF-1 LR3 cautiously the appetite suppression from GLP-1s means you may not feel hunger signals that would otherwise warn you about low blood glucose
Fix: Inject post-workout , then eat a carbohydrate + protein-rich meal (e.g., CLEAN CARBS + WHEY ISOLATE) within 30 minutes
Such changes increase the ability of cells to move, which is essential for wound healing and tissue repair
