My first dosage was on Friday 28/02 at 3.00pm, I took 10mg*** GW501516 one hour prior to exercise.
I drew 1ml and squirted this under the tongue. The taste was medicinal, with a slightly unpleasant aftertaste that last only a moment. I noticed an increase in heartbeat within 5 minutes, lasting 5-10 minutes approximately before returning to regular heartbeat and no other noticeable immediate effect.
One hour later I drank a shake made of water & 2 scoops of Metagenics Energy X. Within 10 minutes my blood sugar level (BSL) shot upwards from ~7.5mmol/l to 11.8mmol/l, which I believe is due to the shake, but may be reaction to GW501516 , which could possibly affect blood sugar via for example a release of cortisol. My 2nd (evening) dose of GW501516 will be taken without the energy shake so I will ascertain over coming days if it has this immediate effect on BSL.
In response to raised BSL but keeping in mind the exercise will lower BSL, I then injected one unit of Fiasp short acting insulin.
From what I have read the GW501516 should increase insulin sensitivity, but I expect this is something that will happen over days or weeks, not immediately. If this is the case then my daily insulin intake should decrease,so will support weight loss as insulin is of course a growth hormone.
With the GW501516 on board I swam 1.1km. This was my second consecutive day swimming, so I already had some muscle fatigue. I drank electrolyte formula while swimming. I felt good & pushed myself quite hard. I would have liked to swim more laps but my feet began to cramp & when I exited pool my BSL was 7.0mmol/l & rapidly dropping, so this was the limit imposed by diabetes (frustrating!). The BSL actually stayed at about 7.0mmol/l then & was stable for a few hours until I got home & ate a meal.
The major difference I noticed to my strength & endurance was that when I left the pool I still had a lot of energy to carry my gym bag & walk home. Ordinarily I am fatigued after swim, & have a general body pain & muscle fatigue, & I will feel flat, but today I was in a good mood & felt strong & awake. I liked this!
For dinner I ate 2 eggs, haloumi, & some kale cooked in butter. Then I had a tea with cream before bed to maintain ketosis through the night.
At 10.30pm I did a blood ketone test & the result was 1.3mmol/l. Okay. I would have liked to see higher ketone level, but this is still good.
At 12am I took my second dose of GW501516, this time 5mg. The idea is that this dose through the night will aid muscle repair. My BSL rose from 8.0mmol/l to 10.3mmol/l at this time, but I am not convinced it is from the GW501516 as I also had a shower before bed & the hot water will often create a spike in my BSL that normalises after about an hour.
***I was planning to take 10mg over 2 doses of each 5mg but by mistake I took the initial dose as the entire 10mg. It’s because I had previously calculated how many milliliters that would be of the liquid formula (1ml), and then what that would look like drawn up in the syringe, so my mind went on autopilot & drew up 1ml as I had imagined.
