Melatonin:
Research Reveals a Surprising Link Between Melatonin and Type 2 Diabetes
About 30% of the population carries a gene variant that makes them more sensitive to blood sugar-elevating effects of melatonin. Are you at risk?
blog.humanos.me
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden, after studying this effect in mice and in human islet cells, hypothesized that melatonin supplementation would produce different effects on insulin and blood sugar regulation in humans depending on whether they carry the G-allele.
^ People carrying the G-allele are more fucked when taking melatonin. But both carriers and non carriers are fuckedall of the subjects were told to take 4 mg of melatonin every night for three months. This is a relatively common dose taken by people to assist with sleep onset, and this amount is readily available over the counter at drugstores in the US. Their baseline melatonin levels were measured at 16-25 pg / ml. The study does not indicate at what time these measurements were drawn, but it seems likely that this was at some point during the day.
At the end of the 3-month regimen, melatonin levels were measured in response to the 4 mg of melatonin. As one would expect based on previous research, peak plasma levels vastly exceeded the normal physiological range in both groups.
However, the risk variant carriers had 76% higher levels than non-carriers: 510 pg / ml versus 289 pg / ml, respectively.
^ solution is mentioned in the article tho.In a study comparing two different doses of melatonin (4 mg versus 0.4 mg), participants who were assigned the 4 mg dose saw their melatonin levels rise 65-fold higher than normal peak levels! And those levels remained elevated (above 50 pg / ml) for approximately ten hours after oral administration. This means that if you took 4 mg of melatonin at midnight, you would still have higher-than-normal levels through the morning – and with that comes the suppression of insulin and disturbed glucose metabolism. One would assume that this effect would be significantly amplified in people with the risk gene variant.
Roids:
TLDR OVERAt physiological levels, testosterone and oestradiol are thought to be involved in maintaining normal insulin sensitivity. However, outside this 'physiological window' these steroids may promote insulin resistance. Considerable research has been carried out on polycystic ovarian syndrome, a common disorder associated with excessive androgen production and insulin resistance.
This article on rats beg to differ.

However, This article on nandrolone agrees with the messed up insulin metabolism.
Yet again, a counter argument.

The effects of T supplementation on insulin sensitivity, inflammation-sensitive markers, and apolipoproteins remain poorly understood. We do not know wheth

I would take what this ^ article says tho tbh ngl. But I will include roids just in case. Most likely they're fine at sane doses.Over a wide range of doses, including those associated with significant gains in fat-free mass and muscle size, T had no adverse effect on insulin sensitivity, plasma lipids, apolipoproteins, or C-reactive protein. Only the highest dose of T (600 mg/wk) was associated with a reduction in plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I.

Just fuck muh shit up. I am guaranteed to be diabetic after this run ngl.
Nature wants to fuck you in the angus if you try to ascend tbh ngl.
tldr: the components above decrease insulin sensitivity which raises your chances of getting diabetes.
ffs for immediate release as I don't want anyone not knowing what could happen dedlysrs.

Forgive me mein niggers.
Solutions include: fish oil, chromium, white bean extract, DHEA, vitamin D, lipoic acid, magnesium,cinnamon, beta glucans, resveratrol, and polyphenols found in cocoa, green tea.
Ostarine also helps.
Ketogenic diet helps.
Curcumin also helps.
Personally considering hopping on curcumin srs.
This article is also legit.
