I'm taking 90-100g Protein post workout w/carbs.

NOW =brand name sells dextrose dirt cheap, search the net

edit, i'm taking 100g protein post workout w/out carbs....

30-40 really isnt enough to spike insulin. it is widely believed you need about 60g to spike insulin.
i use 50-60g whey protein and then double that for carbs (100-130g carbs) when i am bulking.
i use about 1/2 cup of maltodextrin and 1/3 cup dextrose.
maltodextrin is actually faster acting than dex but has a bitter taste to it. technically it is also a 'complex carb' (malto is) because it is 8 sugar molecules as opposed to dextrose being 2 sugar molecules.
when i run out of malto....i use about 1/2 cup of dextrose.
id recommend 60-100g of fast acting carbs post workout and another good meal with NO FAT in it about an hour later.

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. I think dex is faster acting than malto. is.

Nope,

The glycemic index of dextrose is 100 (by definition). Maltodextrin is slightly higher at 105.

if you were going to use insulin - shot post workout, would it still be advisible to use dextrose in your post workout shake?
