bro are u an advanced user? insulin is no drug to play with if your not experienced.

 

[rugger88]

never used. I have freinds that have. I don't want to take to much. Just want to try in small doses. Heard of a guy that took ten i.u.'s and slept for 2 days. Don't want that shit happening to me...

In fourth week of deca and suspension and want something to add a little kick so was thinking of insulin to help out a little.

well if your gonna use it might as well tell you how. remember that for every iu you need to take 10 grams of carbs as well. preferably high glycemic carbs. best times to take i would say are when u wake up and after working out. dont go on for too long or u may become diabetic

 

[rugger88]

how many I.U.'s at a time???

 

[Mike P.T.]

start off with 10iu's for your first time out each shot.

i think 10 would be a little high to start out with if he has never messed with slin before. i hvae always been told start with 2 and go from there gradually. some people can handle 10 and some people cant handle 5. everyine is different. search for MONSTERS INSULIN PRIMER he has some great info there. good luck bro!

Start with four. Increase by one Iu. if no problems up to ten. TEN grams simple carbs for every IU.

nah believe me 10 is not high. everyone i know personally who have done insulin start with this dose regardless of bodyweight and have never had a problem

Don't know how body builders dose it,
but proper dosing for a diabetic goes like this:
0.3units/kg/day (1kg = 2.2 pounds)
split total dosage up into 2 doses, take 2/3 total daily dose 30 minutes before breakfast and 1/3 30 minutes before dinner.
total morning dose should be divided up as 2/3 NPH or lente, and 1/3 regular (always draw the regular up first)
total evening dose should be divided up 50:50 between NPH and Regular

Diabetics then adjust the dosage according to BS level

I don't think I would recommend using Insulin, even if your not a beginner. Like someone said earlier, it could cause you to become diabetic, and thats a disease that is not fun to deal with. If you take insulin, your B-cells in pancreas will likely shut down, and not make their own insulin (like any negative feedback mechanism). If they don't start making insulin after you stop taking it, then your basically screwed. There are much better, safer things to take IMO.
