Summary

How can someone temporarily alter bloodwork to qualify for insurance-covered GLP medications?

The thread explores ways to spike markers like A1C or reduce insulin sensitivity for a single day to appear diabetic and access approved GLP drugs. Suggestions include a custom peptide, high-dose HGH, or eating a doughnut before testing, with some noting HGH and reta can be combined without ruining labs. One participant doubts the doughnut trick works based on personal experience.

What this discussion establishesWhere people disagree

Whether eating a doughnut before fasted bloodwork would actually raise the needed markers

Still open

Whether any of the proposed methods would reliably produce the desired bloodwork changes

Nothing here is advice.

Let's make a peptide that messes with blood markers for only one day so you can inject it, see the doctor, and get approved for insurance-covered GLP meds by showing as diabetic.

Sounds useful for people who don't meet the criteria.

Something that works against reta and drives A1C way up. Or another compound to tank testosterone levels, call them Norreta and testostergone.

Just eat a doughnut right before your fasted bloodwork.

I run 5.5ius and also take Reta yet my labs come back fine.

I don't think that would work, don't ask me how I know.

Same here, they seem to work well together and Reta cancels out most downsides from the hgh. Still, high dose hgh alone can lower insulin sensitivity enough for a test if you want to look diabetic, and obviously pause any glp1 during that time.
