Insulin type and dose

[mrperfect]

Last year I used insulin and loved it. I know it can be dangerous, I monitored my blood surgar with a tester.

However, I can't remember but I think I used Humalin R. I was going to get some more and when I did research it looks like Humalog works much faster and for a shorter duration than Humalin R so I was thinking Humalog would be a better choice. Does anyone have any experience they can share?

I hav always just used the Humilin R just because it is over the counter where I live and the Humilog requires a perscription. From all the research I have done I don't think you would really see much differance in the results . I always stay under 10iu and never more than twice a day...

Is it ok to take it 4 hours before I go to bed? I would only be taking 4 IUs. Last time took it after I trained in the morning but now I train at 6pm.

You definitely have to take it seriously , it really is a whole nother level. Its like owning a gun or a pitbull , if you cant be responsable with it you just shouldnt mess with it...(that night not be a good analagy but I saw ur brindle avatar) do your research before you even consider it...

12 TO 15 IU'S PWO of Humalog. Humalog is just faster in and out. U don't have to worry about staying awake as long after late night workouts to get ur carbs.
