A member asked:
I took a glucogon growth hormone stimulation test and received a peak gh of 3.5g/l. i have symptoms of low gh, but my result wasn't low enough to qualify for gh replacement. could my result have been affected by my fasting for 16h the night before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. As a rule, most of these tests are standardized on patients that were fasting before testing at lease 8-12 hours.
