another insulin question

[voodochile]

i have a two questions about insulin. with all the new kinds of insulin on the market now, is humalog-R still the best choice for body builders? i have used it a few times befor in some cycles, but wondering if there is something better out there now.
has anyone ever tried or heard of insulin glargine? im not sure if its slow or fast acting. i have a vial, and was wondering if it is something i can use , or do i need to go back to old fathfull , the humalog-R
thanks for the help.

Unless you're going pro just don't use insulin at all. Very foolish and a mistake I made myself years ago.

Seriously, things have changed. There may be 20 people in the world that actually have a legit excuse to use insulin.

10 years ago all the boards were recommending insulin. That has changed and I'm one of the people trying to push that change.

Good luck bro.

humalin r and humalog are short acting insulin

The newer fast acting insulin is Humalog and Novalog (same there different companies). Where the R insulin would start working (if I remember right) in 30 minutes peak in 1 hour and be out of your system in 2 hours. Humalog starts working in 15 minutes peaks in 30 minutes and out of your system in 1 hour. Reason I know is because I've been a type I diabetic for 14 years and take approximately 10 shots a day to keep my blood sugar well regulated.

Insulin is a wonder drug when it comes to power lifting or body building because everything that you inject or swallow is regulated by insulin. Some will argue this but from years of experimenting with it I have learned many tricks to maximize my gains with Humalog. When creatine first came out I jumped from a body weight of 165 lbs to 233 lbs in 5 weeks using Humlin R. When they came out with Humalog I started injecting testosterone and grew to a max of 286 lbs with 7% body fat standing at 6'2".

Keep in mind everything mentioned above was done thru careful monitering of my blood sugar and very slow increasements in doseage. I would not reccommend in any form or fashion the use of Insulin by anyone that does not need it. It's the same as playing with a loaded pistol! There are other ways of spiking your natural production of insulin like drinking Gatorade at key times of the day to boost insulin output. Study the absorption time of protiens and other supplements that you take and drink Gatorade right before these peak times to maximize absorption.

The main thing to remember is insulin is designed to lower blood sugars. Take for instance there are 100 units in a cc. Say my blood sugar is 300 I will take 20 units of Humalog to get it back down to a normal range (This amount varys depending on the patient). That is only a fifth of a cc. If your blood sugar is normal then it will be between 80-120. So if you take a large dose like this or even worse a higher dose then if you write really fast you may have enough time to complete a short will of your belongings before you slip into a coma and ______________flat line.

I hope this helps you in your decision and one last thing to add is a saying I tell everyone who try crazy stuff like mentioned "You don't know how much to appreciate good health until you no longer have it".
