If you are on a ketogenic diet, I would recommend against any type of insulin and/or glucophage - it's just too easy to get dead. Getting into ketosis with diet/exercise is not that difficult and much easier to control. Now, if you are on a regular diet, with a good amount of carbs, then insulin ain't so dangerous. Use HR tho, it is relatively short-acting and easier to deal with when the blood sugar drops. Glucophage and other orals, to me, lasts too long in the system and can be difficult to counter-act if your blood-sugar drops too low. You should have some way of monitoring your blood sugar (accucheck or some other way) and urine ketosis (ketostix) if you are using a ketogenic diet. It works, but you are riding a fine line when you play around with low blood sugar. ------------------ IP: Logged |

using insulin to get into ketosis is not dangerous if done in a responsible manner. The best way to do it (and i do it weekly and am still here to tell about it) is... on sunday about an hour after last carb meal take 3IU's of humilin R. wait about two hours and 15 mins then take another 2 IU's. another 2 hours and 15 mins later take 1-2 IU. That is all i do.. I wait until at least 3 hours after my last inject to go to sleep, and im in ketosis by monday night. This process can be done safer with a glucometor, but i never used one. just take it nice and slow and dont over do it. it only takes me a total of 6 IU's to get the job done. peace IP: Logged |

Just make sure you know what your doing before you use it because it could make you fat rather than add on some muscle. 300 ------------------ IP: Logged |
