No food for 10+ hour: it is recommended that a person fast for 10-12 hours before testing for GH. GH is released in pulses, so a normal level rules out a deficiency, but if results suggest GH deficiency, additional testing such as insulin stimulation, GHRH-arginine test, or glucagon test may be ordered.
