Tomorrow I'm doing a training split. Can I take 10ius in the morning after I work out and 10ius after the evening workout or would that be too much??     | ||

Insulin is dangerous stuff. Wouldn't mess with it if I didn't have to. | ||

Bump for 2thick, it is dangerous, but only if you are not well educated on it's use and effects. If you are asking this question you should probably do more research, in that research you will come across a whole buch of new iformation that can help you use insulin better and saffer. In answer to you question, provided you are using humulin-R, it should be okay. Humulin, injected cutaneously (under the skin as opposed to intramuscularly), will begin to take effect in 30 min and will peak within two hours. After 4 hours from the time of injection, insulin levels have returned to normal. So provided you are not going to work out with in that 4 hour window, there should be no problem, I would leave an extra hour just to be on the safe side, and always have access to dextrose tabs when using insulin just in case. ------------------ | ||

You are starting too high. Take no more than like 5iu's per injection for a while. Slowly increase your amount...slowly. There is a big difference between 5 and 7iu's. B True | ||

Ive been taking it for about 4 weeks. I started slow and have done everything right. I have never felt hypoglycemic at all!! I was wondering if I could take it twice a day. It just so happens that I will be doing a split tomorrow. This split will not be a regular occurance. | ||

Well, youre not supposed to take it at night. Humalin-R stays active in the system for like 6 hours. If you were to work out say 6pm till 7pm then take your insulin, it would still be in your body till 1am. IF you went to sleep at 11pm, you could have a hypoglycemic reaction in your sleep and not have time to react, therefore FUCKING YOURSELF UP GOOD. If your gonna do two doses, do one in the morning (after workout), and another in late afternoon (around 3), that way your safe. Of course its up to you, its your life. Here is a post I read a couple months ago, that was good, you can thank "monster" for itMonster Elite Bodybuilder Posts: 612 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ | ||

I have used it twice before with little or no sides. Just be SURE to have the extra simple carbs (my preference is in liquid form) on the side if/when you feel whoozy. ------------------ | ||

well it is dangerous, but I can tell you from experience, I took 100ius...yes 100ius by accident for 3 straight days and the 3rd night was the only time I felt hypo I ate some tuna and a can of coke. 20 mins later I was fine. I'm not down playing insulin at all, but I took 460ius in 5 days and I did not die. For all the details see my thread. I since learned to read my points correctly. I now take 10ius when I wake and 10 ius post workout. I now feel better. In those days I did feel weird, but never bad except the one night. Take it serious, but as you can see you can take much higher doses without dying. BUT DONT DO IT!!!!! I DID IT BY MISTAKE. | ||

BRO'S I'VE NEVER USE SLIN AND DON'T REALLY PLAN ON IT. I ONLY ASK IS IT REALLY WORTH THE RISK WITH SO MANY OTHER GREAT PRODUCTS. I REALIZE IF YOUR HEAVILY INTO THE GH KICK IT HAS ITS PLACE BUT OTHERWISE WHY TAKE THE RISK OF BECOMING A DIABETIC OR GOING INTO A COMA. ------------------ | ||

Omegalos! Please let us in on some more info!! I do 12IU twice a day. One in the morning and one after workout. I also use the Humalog as Omegalos described above. One thing..When do you really know when you have had the optimum level of insulin? Anyone?? JR | ||

Ok, I'd agree with Rocko, if you've got humalin R. You need a four hou window before you work out after taking your first shot. DO NOT TAKE IT BEFORE A WORKOUT. Training lowers your blood sugar level even further so combined with insulin in your system you heighten the risk of hypoglycemia. If you are gonna take it twice to split train, I'd try and get Humalog. It is the fastest acting. I used it myself on waking and post workout, training in the evening only. I only got up to 7iu/shot though. | ||

What do you guys think of taking Cell-Tech with the insulin after a workout. The Cell-Tech has 75g of carbs/sugars with some designer, I would Think it would be ok. Any opinions?? | ||

Too expensive, but if you've already got it, use it. I get 100% Maltodextrin 2.5kilos for about �12 (less than $10) |
