Do insulin-dependant people and regular people react the same...Do the diabetic have to eat plenty of carbs before their shot? | ||

Don't know about diabetics that much .. my only experience with insulin is using it to cut up during a cyclic ketogenic diet. | ||

if you go to sleep you could slip into a coma. get some sugars after you take the insulin and stay awake ------------------ "May all of your showers be golden." - Jerri Blank "I cried when I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. Then I laughed...really hard." | ||

If he is using humulog, he can go to sleep after 2 hours and if using humilun R you should wait 4 hours. That is risky and counter productive. If you are going to use insulin you want to use the active time to eat clean food. Use creatine and glutimine. Take advantage of the shuttling properties of insulin. | ||

To the guy that asked the diabetic question: The reason diabetics take insulin is to break down the carbs that they ALREADY consumed, so no, they don't use insulin like non-diabetics. | ||

In all honesty...if he ate correctly and was only taking a nap...he should be fine. Although, by taking insulin he opens his window of growth for a few hours instead of a few minutes. If he is sleeping this time away, then why even take it? B True | ||

I wouldn't even think about sleeping after a slin shot, it's too dangerous....it might end up being a permanent sleep. | ||

Insulin induced hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) causes the body to employ the fight of flight response. So, although I don't think its a good idea to go to sleep right after a shot of 'slin, I have found through personal experiences that you will wake up and feel a panic sensation. If you don't know what to do to neutralize that feeling, you have no business taking insulin in the first place. | ||

I have known a couple people to do this but I strongly would not recommend it. Usually after you take your insulin shot and you consume your correct amount of carbs, about 2 hours later you get very hungry again almost hypo feeling. If you are sleeping you cannot cosume the carbs at this time. Obviously this would be dangerous. Thats why everyone should use humalog if you can get it, because it is alot faster acting. Actually sleepiness is a sign of hypoglycemia. Nick | ||

Well I go to sleep 1/2 hour after my shot. I train late at night mostly anyhows and what I do is take in about 100mg of carbs immediately after a workout, take my insulin shot, drive home, have a high protein meal and hit the sack. I am still here, but I would not encourage anyone else to do this. And if you are feeling tired after your insulin shot, it is quite obvious you did not take in enough carbs. | ||

Listen to jae, nick ,and demon, they know what they are talking about. When I use insulin .I take it with all meals.I personally believe that 3 times aday is minimal to achieve the best gains. I have used insulin for years ,done it diferent ways and I know that most people don't get the most out of it because they use it once a day. after a WO. It is by far my no# 1 drug, IMO ,to gain mass. BUT ALWAYS START SLOW 1 SHOT ADAY TO GET SOME EXPERIENCE WITH IT THRN MOVE UP TO MORNING AND AFTER WORKOUT SHOTS THEN ADD LUNCH(MID DAY) | ||

I am the guy this topic was about. I jus thought I would explain what I was doing. I'm new to the board. I was taking 8iu of HGH a day, Noradren 200, Primoteston, Primbolan,and Sustenon. My test added up to about 4,000mg a week. Then I was taking 8iu of insulin a day towards the middle. When I started the insulin I did 2iu after a workout until a few days I did 6iu after a workout. I ate 150 - 200g of carbs. That is when I passed out for 4 hours. After that I started doing it 3 times a day instead of at once,because the body responds better anyway to small doses throughout the day rather than all at once. Someone said why sleep after insulin shot that that is when you grow. The body grows best when it is resting. That's all. ------------------ | ||

Grows best when asleep, and getting rest. Agree, but if one were to work out then sleep without food, why even bother working out. Insulin increases that window of opportunity, why sleep it away? Although I do believe that the 4gm test would probably take care of that in your case. Newbies...don't sleep afterwards. B True | ||

I wasn't sleeping on purpose. It is jus when I took in 4 - 6iu at once I couldn't stay awake so that is when I split it up to 3 times a day and eating every 2 hours. ------------------ | ||

4-6iu's!!! That is nothing. Not to flame, and I honestly mean that, but 6iu's is not enough to put you to sleep if you eat enough carbs. You are also sleeping your growth time away!!!!!!!!! B True | ||

well I take 10ius twice daily (20ius per day) and I sleep after the second one, I honestly can say that it does help, as I have been using cyp, prop, deca, and primo along with serostim and insulin. I have just grown crazy these last ten weeks. |
