I'm not diabetic, but I'm on gear and want to get big, like everyone else on the board, so I bought some Humulin R, the fast acting insulin. Does it make you hungry??? A friend of mine said that he took 1/10th of a ml, and he'd have a Carb Force drink, which has like 100 grams of carbs, then 30 min. later, he'd be hungry as hell, and would eat about 5 lb of food!!!! Does that normally happen?? I'm taking GH, but only .7cc per day. What are the best uses of insulin for bodybuilding?? Thanks.     | ||

Listen dude, Do more research you are playing with your life, insulin will kill you if you don't know what you are doing. And judging by your questions you don't. Check out this link and reads the post Insulin for Dummies

Insulin isnt hard to use, but it must be used right. Humalin R will hit you in about 1/2 hour and will peak at 4 hours (by sub-q). The general concensus has always been 10g of carbs per I.U., though this is actually far more than is needed. For beginners, 10g is a good way to go, till you understand better what is happeneing with it. Ive used insulin for years, and have never had any near-death experiances... but you MUST do it right. Start out with no more than 5 I.U. right after your workout, and at no other time. This way you get a feel for it. Right after the shot, take in 50g of carbs, mostly simple, but a little complex is good (that is a topic for another day  ). BE VERY AWARE OF THE TIME! At the 4 hour post injection point, the "R" will peak, meaning it will be at its strongest potency. At this point, a mixed meal of carbs and protien is the best thing for you. 25g of carbs should be a minimmum, but will more would be good too.Heres a little insight into how insulin makes so many people fat. Insulin is a partitioning agent. It takes the nutrients you eat, and sends them where they should go. Carbs get sent to the glycogen stores (brain, liver, muscles. in that order). Protien gets sent to be assimilated for tissue repair, and heres the kicker... fat gets sent to fat stores! Yep, any fat you eat during that 4 hours will be partitioned into fat stores! This is why I will only use Humalog insuiln. It hits in 15 minutes, and peaks at 1 hour, then it clears your system. So its a 1 hour window of "food caution" as opposed to 4. Once you get a feel for insulin, bump this post and we can discuss glucogen overcompensation. (or anyone else who is interested for that matter) ------------------ |
