Insulin and R-ALA

[thate]

I was thinking about doing insulin for the first time during my next post-cycle. Starting with 4iu's and working up to 10iu's post-workout only.

Should r-ala be taken with insulin? Like all the meals before workout and after the 2 meals post-workout? I know the two shouldn't be taken simultaneously.

Thanks

I would not use r-ala simultaneously with insulin, ie, when it is still active in your system because of the increased risk of going hypoglycemic, however during non insulin periods it would be (I assume) useful for resensitizing the cells

That's how I'm taking it, personally.

I won't take it for several hours after my 10 IUs of Humolog or several hours before.

Other than that, I see it being pretty beneficial.

The r-ALA actually mentions mild hypoglocemia on the bottle, so actually COMBINING the dosages w/ insulin seems like a bad move. Espececially considering, the insulin is probably actually a lot cheaper than the r-ALA.
