Arginine test is a growth hormone (GH) stimulation test that measures the plasma level of human growth hormone (hGH) after the administration of the amino acid arginine and/or GH-releasing hormone. It measures the ability of the pituitary to secrete GH.
This test requires 12hr fasting. If I eat a good sized meal before the test, will I show low levels of GH?
Im looking for the same answer to the question of how to fail the igf-1 test im a few points high on my test and i want to lower my igf-1 before the next blood work? did u come up with any answers?

Get NO sleep for the two days prior. Get some modafinil or adderal. You’ll have the levels of a 90 year old man in that state!
