: I just wanted to let people on this newsgroup know that I just
: got out of the emergency room.

: I've been taking insulin for the last two weeks right after
: workout. I was drinking an Ultra Fuel at the gym and then taking 10 iu
: when I got home. Everything was fine before but for some reason today I
: got dizzy and very shakey. I tried eating some carbs real quick but I was
: still weak. My wife thaught I was going to pass out and called 911. The
: paramedics tested my blood and the sugar count was 48 so they urged that
: I go to the hospital.

: At the hospital I got an IV and basically just sat around for
: four hours while the kept chekcing my blood sugar. What really sucked is
: when I told the doctor what I had done he just could not believe
: bodybuilders were using insulin and he said I was insane. The doctor
: advised that using insulin when not diabetic is suicidal. The doctor told
: me that 10 units of insulin is a very high dose and that only very bad
: diabetics with blood sugar over 400 take more than 10 units.

: I'm still not sure what happened, everything was fine before but
: this time I got a real scare. Personally I threw my insulin in the
: garbage. I hope that other people using insulin be very carefull.
