Insulin Basics

[AnabolicDiabetic]

Here's some answers to a recent PM I got asking about slin usage. I thought it might be helpful to post it. I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT I AM NOT ENCOURAGING OR ENDORSING THE USE OF INSULIN BY NON-DIABETICS IN ANY WAY. THIS IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dosage: start with 3 units, move up by 1 unit at a time. 10-15 should be sufficient post workout so be aware of symptoms of hypoglycemia both going through the lower doses and especially nearer the higher doses. BE VERY CAREFUL THE FIRST TIME! HYPOGLYCEMIA IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE AND CAN COME ON UN-EXPECTEDLY.

Eat high GI carbs after your slin dose immediately, followed by protein. Eat another balanced meal, including some fats, about 45min to an hour later.

Cycle it first week going up to your highest dose, two weeks at that dose, fourth week taper down to zero.

Injections are subcutaneous, not intramuscular. Stomach is best and you can also do inner/outer upper thigh, tri's(not into the muscle though), butt cheeks. Rotate injection sites.

Needles to use are 29 guage, 1/2cc

Insulin is not detectable through drug testing

good post i think with the growing rate of slin users there should be as most info as possible,anabolic mentions going on for 4 weeks than tapering off what about the rest period between cycles whats his answer to that?

I think a general rule of thumb is time on=time off at the very minimum...but then again, its not like my beta cells are going to kick back in

I'll BUMP this for AD.....And I agree, I'm not a big advocate of non-diabetic slin users, but knowledge is the key....

Thanks AD
