What is the necessary amount of carbs per iu of insulin I have heard statements ranging from 10g to 100g per iu. Can someone please clarify this. | ||

at least 10grms, you shouldnt need to go much more over that. | ||

10g per iu, within 60 minutes, high glycemic | ||

I saw this excellent post on another great(greater) board.... "Hope this will help answer a lot of the Slin questions. Props to BigDawg for making your life simple. hehehe The Materials. What to do. follow this step by step and you will not go wrong. THAT IS IT! how hard was that?? not very hard when its broken down like that. after the shot, make sure to have a meal in 1 1/2 hours with low fat and a good amount of carbs and protein. this method is safe to do at night as well. sometimes i do it like this and just go to sleep, without even a meal after the protein and carb drink! you are getting 10 carbs per IU of insulin, so the ratio is good to keep you stable. I would recommend you try this after training and see what it does for you. yes, you can take it more often but then you run the risk of getting fat and lowering your insulin sensitivity. Do you HAVE to use the drinks i mentioned here? no, but they make it SUPER easy to do. it is best to take the carbs in on a headstart to the insulin so thats why i said to take the drink in the gym." ------------------ | ||

Thanks for the info guys. I'm gonna start at 2iu and taper up to 8-10iu. Should I be taking it on off days as well? | ||

I have used insulin and knoe alot about it! Take 10g of carbs per iu and protein and creatine too... I am taking about 12iu with 120g carbs, 60g proteins, 0g fat and 15g creatine. Take your shot about 20-30min before finishing the workout and then drink the shake right after and you will be fine! I started at 4iu and added 2iu a day! You wont feel no pump before you take atleast 8iu... Be careful! Measure the dose twice it's serious stuff No you cant take it year round! Some take it for long but it's not the safest way and wont give good results anyway. Do 4 weeks and then take atleat 4-8 weeks off!

What about using it with Cell-Tech? Why can't you use humalog from the start. I read on another post that this was a shorter lived insulin, therefore safer and easier to contol, is this incorrect? I also read that 10 grams of carbs per iu was the max carbs you want to take with it, to start with that amount but try to adjust it back slightly, I think he said to around 8 grams. It's of much interest to me as I am considering trying some soon so someone please tell if these things are right |
