Fasting Glucose on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and how it sits with related markers.
What it is
Fasting glucose is blood sugar after a night without food. It is the quick check on insulin sensitivity, and it is often the first number to move on growth hormone or MK-677.
The range
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.
- Cortisol from poor sleep or stress.

Why is my fasting glucose high on MK-677?
It raises growth hormone, which raises blood sugar and blunts insulin. It is one of the most common causes in peptide users. What to do about it is a question for your doctor.
