If you have a glucometer you need to check your glucose level . Normals are between 60-120. You should have one of these before you even screw with insulin . Especially fast acting Insulin R. If you are low OJ with some sugar packets works well. Careful what you mess with. A diabetic coma or ketoaciidosis (when the body breaks down muscle increasing serum ketone levels ) is not unheard of and death can be a result. Always check that glucose level. Good luck. Peace. | ||

lawnsaver, you just can't take insuline and go to sleep and hope to wake up every time. you should eat plenty of carbs when you inject, and then about 1.5-2 hours again, 'cause that's when the hypo starts to hit. cold sweat etc.. be careful man! | ||

Yes, this second spike hits me all the time, most always on non-workout days. Its no problem, just be prepared. I carry glucose tubes or tablets from the diabetic section of the drug store. Just start on em when you feel it coming on - the tubes work the best. Then take in some more carbs throughout the 4 hrs. I agree with bazooka, one load of carbs after injecting is not enough. I eat fruit, have juice, whatever all along during the active period. Again this is especially true for those of us who push the limits. Used properly, insulin is the shit. | ||

well Lawnsaver.... did you make it through the night alive? You didn't say how much insulin you shot. When hypo starts, eat a candy bar and have a coke. I usually go to sleep 1 1/2 hr after taking mine, of course, I make sure I cover all my bases in the carb and protein department first. Insulin really is the shit if you can use it right. | ||

Hey lawnsaver, are you still alive. Insulin should never be taken that late at night unless you are a diabetic. The optimal time to take Humulin R is first thing when you wake up in the morning and immediately after your workout. You should be eating within 30 minutes of taking insulin and again 2 hours later. Stay on the safe side and never take it that late at night again | ||

Hey guys I'm still here. Thanks for the responses. This is only my 5th day so I got a little scared. It was almost 5 1/2 hrs after my shot. I drank my coke and ate my tuna and I felt better. I took 10ius post workout I drank my carb/creatine/glutamine stack 15 mins after my shot. I then ate my meal an hour later(chicken with no yolk egg noddles), then an hour later I had a protien shake. I thought after that I would be fine, but 2 hours later I got shakey and sweaty. I am still alive!!!!!! | ||

Lawnsaver, read that post that you replied to when you said "that 10iu = 1cc." That is wrong. I replied to it. It is called- Insulin doses "how do I do it". According to that post, it would have meant that you just now took 1cc of insuling, and that would explain your sweating and shaking.

1cc = 1ml = 100iu On an insulin pin that is the first big mark. Its should be divided up by 5 or 10 smaller notches each representing 2 or 1iu respectively. Taking 1cc is very dangerous. You run a big risk of going hypoglycemic which can lead to death or at the very least you could become insulin tollerent which many people believe leads to the lesser stage of diabeties. (type II I think) Glad to hear you're still alive bro. [This message has been edited by strengthmonster (edited November 30, 2000).] | ||

1cc is not dangerous, it is fatal. Don't underestimate it. You may want to think of using Humilin R which is fast acting so there is no delayed hypo. | ||

quote: JUST A SIDE NOTE 1CC = 1ML = 100IU FOR INSULIN ONLY... IT'S A MEASURE OF CONCENTRATION NOT VOLUME. FOR GH IT'S NOT 100IU PER CC AND OTHER DRUGS CAN BE DIFFERENT AS WELL. 2THICK AND GYMRATSD THAUGHT ME THAT ------------------ | ||

Yeah I did know that, thanks for making the point clear though. Other drugs may have a different concentration if iu per cc. |
