Many are surprised to learn that HGH Replacement Therapy can improve diabetes, even cure diabetes. The is enough research available along with clinical evidence to confirm that human growth therapy works, and that’s exciting news! However, whether the medical community will act upon it remains to be seen.
The majority of the HGH therapy benefits of diabetes management is because of the IGF-1 production, which is released from the liver when HGH stimulates its production. IGF-1 is an insulin like growth factor, and it has an action that is similar to insulin. It enhances glucose absorption from the blood via the body’s cells.
In individuals with no diabetes glucose is absorbed via adipose cells and fat cells, after the necessary glucose amounts are absorbed by the body’s other cells such as cardiac muscles, nerve tissues, skeletal muscles, etc.
However, when there is IGF-1 in the blood, the body’s cells increase the amount of glucose that is absorbed (in contrast to adipose tissue cells). There is a dual benefit here – it reduces the fat deposits in the body while at the same time reducing blood sugar levels.
HGH has a powerful action when it comes to improving protein metabolism and improving protein synthesis. This will then regulate the body’s glucose metabolism, and it increases the sensibility of receptors to insulin.
The evidence is overwhelming when it comes to the huge benefits that HGH Replacement Therapy has to offer in managing insulin dependent diabetes. Experts recommend that HGH Replacement Therapy be used with dietary measures. The benefits are many when it comes to avoiding detrimental diabetes side effects including kidney damage, diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, etc.
Let’s look at some of the research (and there is plenty) that confirms the benefit of human growth therapy in treating diabetes.
John Hopkin Institute Study on Human Growth Hormone Improving Diabetes
In a study conducted by the John Hopkins Institute, the research team observed that HGH had the ability to regulate glucose levels in the blood. At the same time reducing the intra abdominal fat, which is the fat that surrounds our organs and can pose a significant health risk.
Dr. Hertoghe, Brussels, says “HGH enhances the action of insulin and enhances the absorption of glucose by the nerve cells, cardiac cells and muscular cells.”
What this does is stop the fat cells from absorbing glucose. This action is beneficial on insulin sensitivity and controlling diabetes. In addition, it will lower blood sugar levels which, in turn, helps to reduce harmful complications of diabetes, including peripheral nerve disease, cardiac illness, and diabetic retinopathy.
Salgrenska University Hospital Research HGH Improves Diabetes
Johannson and his colleagues conducted a study at the Salgrenska University Hospital. What they found is that HGH helps improve insulin sensitivity. The study design was a randomized double blind study that involved 30 men between 48 years to 66 years of age. For 9 months, they were given low doses of HGH, and they observed significant benefits. Glucose metabolism significantly improved. In addition, there was an average reduction of 18.1 percent of abdominal fat, which is a major cause of insulin resistance. The study concluded that GGH replacement therapy helps improve insulin sensitivity and assists in regulation of blood sugar levels.
Dr Fahy at the Naval Medical Research Institute Confirms HGH Benefits Diabetes
In another double blind study conducted in 1997, it was observed that IGF-1 (an intermediate factor secreted by the liver on stimulation by hGH) can reduce the need for insulin by up to 45 percent, in patients suffering with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. The study involved eight adults, between 24 to 49 years of age, and forty three children between 8 and 17 years of age.
IGF-1 was also lowered the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood after a mere four days of treatment. The study was a short clinical trial lasting for four weeks. There were no serious side effects associated with the HGH replacement therapy. Dr. Fahy’s study at the Naval Medical Research Institute, showed the benefits of using HGH to control diabetes, and that it should be considered a possible cure for adult onset diabetes.
This is very interesting as I thought that one of the side effects of taking HGH injections was diabetes. This goes to say that medicine is not really an exact science. I guess in some people HGH may cause Diabetes but in others may cure it. I however would definitely recommend not using HGH if you already have diabetes until you get medical advice from an endocrinologist.
Nina I agree with you if you have diabetes you should consult with your doctor first as I think that we still don’t have enough clinical data to say for sure that HGH can help with diabetes or not.
