[QUOTE="phalloguy100, post: 276869, member: 45623"] OK, so this is totally based on my own experience… I’ve noticed that I have huge, sudden drops in blood sugar (as much as 140 mg/dL) a few minutes after each hcg sub-q shot. The drops don’t last long though so they’re not a big concern- my glucose stabilizes within an hour or so on its own. But as far as I know, hcg is NOT supposed to cause hypoglycemia or any kind of sugar drop. I suspect it may have something to do with insulin sensitivity, since I have type 2 diabetes. I think this has been happening every time since restarting hcg last year, but it wasn’t until recently that I was able to make the connection because I started doing the shots at night for convenience, at which time I hadn’t exercised so there would be no reason for mu sugar to drop. And it’s not a “compression low” on the CGM (false low readings when you lay on your arm) because I wasn’t laying down. Any theories? Is there any relationship between hcg/TRT/e2/LH/T and blood glucose/insulin/glucagon? See example below from my Dexcom CGM. The top of that second spike is just around the time when I injected hCG.
