Hi everyone,
First time posting on the forum. I’ve taking Rapamycin (Biocon) for 4 months now. Here’s my dosage and personal infos;
Age : 32
Sex : Male
Weight : 168 lbs
Heigh : 6’1’’
Body fat : About 7-8%
Physically active. I do tennis 2x a week + weight lifting 2x week.
1st month :
Week 1 : 3mg single weekly dose
Week 2 : 4mg single weekly dose
Week 3 : 5 mg single weekly dose
Week 4 : 5 mg single weekly dose
I then read different experiences from users on the forum regarding the possible benefits of pulsing larger doses less often. I also read a few papers from Dr. Blagosklonny. I decided to dose 8mg every 12 days as a result. And it’s the posology I’ve been using for the last 3 months (so 4 months total with the ramping up of the 1st month).
I’ve had some lab work last week and the HBA1C came up high (close to prediabetes really…). From what I can see in this paper, hyperglycemia could be a side effect. I’ve attached the lab work to the post.
Anyone ever had this side effect after dosing for a few months? I’m considering stopping the experiment. Rapamycin is the only drug I’m using (antiaging or not).
Diet : I’m doing intermittent fasting (15 hours fast) and eat about 3000cal a day.
I bought a glucometer yesterday and tested my glucose levels. My last Rapamycin dose was 10 days ago.
1h after dinner : 5,3 mmol/L
Waking up : 5,1 mmol/L
End of my fasting period (1PM) : 4,6 mmol/L
These results seem perfectly normal. So my hypothesis is that Rapamycin messes very badly with my blood glucose levels. And the effect must last for a few days after the dose since HBA1C is a mean of your glucose level for the last 2-3 months.
So, what are your thoughts? Curious if anyone ever experienced anything alike?
