Fasting Glucose on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and what people usually do about it.
What it is
Fasting glucose is blood sugar after a night without food. It is the quick check on insulin sensitivity, and it is the first number to move on growth hormone or MK-677.
The range
TRT-aware target
70 to 99 mg/dL
How to read the lab range
Under 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal; 100 to 125 is prediabetes; 126 and up on two tests is diabetes.
Why it moves on a protocol
- Growth hormone and secretagogues raise it directly.
- A long bulk at higher body fat.
- Trenbolone and some orals worsen insulin sensitivity.
- Cortisol from poor sleep or stress.
What people usually do · not a recommendation
- Walk after meals, keep lifting, sleep.
- Cut the MK-677 or GH dose, or move it to before bed with no carbohydrate.
- Berberine is the supplement people reach for; a doctor can prescribe metformin.

Why is my fasting glucose high on MK-677?
It raises growth hormone, which raises blood sugar and blunts insulin. It is the most common cause in peptide users and it reverses when the dose drops.
