Feedback on tesamorelin + ipamorelin dosing for visceral fat loss

I’ve been running tesamorelin 2 mg subQ each morning with ipamorelin 250 mcg at night for the past six weeks. For me the scale hasn’t moved much but my waist feels a bit tighter and I’m sleeping deeper. I’m curious if splitting the tesamorelin dose (1 mg AM, 1 mg PM) would give a smoother GH curve or if keeping it once daily is fine.

Also wondering if anyone has seen labs showing IGF‑1 stay in range with this combo – I’m skeptical about claims of “no significant IGF‑1 overshoot” and would like to see real world numbers. Any thoughts on timing, dose tweaks, or what bloodwork to check after a cycle? Appreciate any feedback or links to studies you trust.

I’ll check IGF‑1, fasting glucose, and if diversified, liver enzymes after 6 weeks. When do you usually time the labs, and do you see any spike right after the dose?
