ok. so i'm working out. then i'm going in the locker room and taking my 10iu's of slin. then i'm going out to my car and slamming down my 100gs of carbs. and an hour after that i'm eating my high protein/carb dinn-dinn. my question is this...should I be waiting at all before i drink down those carbs? or am I doing it right by drinking them right after my shot? thanks guys. ------------------     | ||

depends what type of insulin you're taking. i'm diabetic (to give you an idea of my experience) and find that lispro (humalog) peaks between 30-45 minutes and regular around 3 hours. i would imagine if you are taking humalog that you wouldn't want to down your drink immediately cuz your pancreas would start pumping out insulin before the insulin started working. i'd wait maybe 10-15 minutes? | ||

humulin-r is a synthetic human regular. 10 units? that doesn't seem much to me. i'm diabetic and average 80 units (lispro/NPH combined) a day just to handle my regular diet. i would think that bodybuilders would want to use humalog. but, you can get regular OTC and need a scrip for humalog. |
