Need some help: Im using 5iu humilin R every time I take 2iu insulin - once or twice daily. Im 8 wks out from contest and will slowly drop carbs until I carb deplete about a week out from the show. Because my carbs are getting so low I use the insulin in the AM only so my blood sugar doesnt drop through the floor. Any advice for using insulin during the low carb phase? Should I discontinue the humilin R? Any help much appreciated. IP: Logged |

the only way i can think of to use insulin during low carb is eat all your carbs postworkout and take the insulin 20-30 min before end of workout or take it after then eat carbs 20-30min later, im using insulin to get into ketosis quick and for my carb up on the weekend, i got 6weeks to perfect the carb up before my show IP: Logged |

You contradict yourself! Insulin lowers your blood sugar. Why do you say that you take it so that it doesn't go too low? Insulin and humilinR are the same!!! Humulin is simply the fast acting version. You should not use insulin at all until you learn more about it! IP: Logged |

Hey guys - Sorry about the typo - I meant to say I use 5iu Humilin R(insulin) with 2iu HGH. The reason I ask about the insulin is I dont want to discontinue the HGH because it is making me lean as hell! I just dont want to have problems with the insulin and Ive never used HGH without it. I have used insulin for about a year but never during a contest diet. IP: Logged |
