Yes! Growth hormone reduces the use of plasma glucose....increases gluconeogenesis......and mobilizes fatty acids from adipose tissue...thus sparing glucose
No, growth hormone is not glucose sparing. Growth hormone stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen (a form of glucose) in the liver, leading to an increase in blood glucose levels. This increase in blood glucose helps to provide energy for growth and other metabolic processes.

Growth Hormone
growth hormone-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus
Growth hormone is the hormone that stimulates bone and muscle growth. It is made in the pituitary gland. It is also known as somatotropin. Growth hormone is responsible for the increase in height in children and adolescents. It also increases bone density and muscle mass, and stimulates organ growth.
The growth hormone promotes protein synthesis that results in the growth of bones, muscles, and other tissues. GH also stimulates the liver to make insulin-like growth factor, which stimulates the growth of bones. It increases blood glucose levels and is secreted during exercise, sleep, and hypoglycemia.
why GH spares glucose usage
by decrease glucose uptake by the cells and by gluconeogensis
Somatotropin hormone test, Somatomedin C, Growth hormone suppression test (glucose loading test), and Growth hormone stimulation test (Arginine test or Insulin tolerance test).

no
Gigantism leads to the development of hyperglycemia because of an overproduction of the growth hormone. Presence of the growth hormone causes a shift from preferred carbohydrate (glucose) catabolism to lipid catabolism. The glucose is then left in the blood resulting in hyperglycemia.
Glucose is a sugar.It is not a hormone.
somatotropin A protein hormone of the anterior lobe of the pituitary, produced by the acidophil cells, that promotes body growth, fat mobilization, and inhibition of glucose utilization; diabetogenic when present in excess; a deficiency of somatotropin is associated with a number of types of dwarfism (type III is an X-linked disorder). Syn: growth hormone, pituitary growth hormone, somatotropic hormone.
Insulin is the hormone that specifically targets cells that produce hormones affecting glucose metabolism. It is produced by the pancreas and regulates the uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose by cells in the body. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into cells.
Glucagon is the hormone that raises blood glucose levels.
