Insulin, intramuscular or sub-cutaneous inject?

[needsize]

I've seen some debate on this but what is the difference if I shoot it into fat or a muscle?

Done both. Couldn't tell the diff.
Does anyone know if doing it IM would shorten the duration of the slin?

Don't inject it I.M. Insulin is metabolized by liver, kidney, and MUSCLE.
So a certain percentage of what you inject will be broken down before it gets into circulation.
As far as how much, I don't know, but probably enough to make a significant difference.

The difference if you shot it into a muscle could be the dead, you'll get all into circulation immediately and could be sure that you would be in shock. I would suggest to read a lot about medical use of insulin before take it.

Thanks bro, I read everything I could find about insulin and humalog specifically, but I couldnt find anything about the difference between sub-q and IM

Actually needsize, I think I might be wrong!
I was just looking at some research articles and I think I.M. injection will get insulin into circulation faster (as was mentioned above), increasing risk of diabetic shock.
I'll have to do a bit more searching.

Its not that sure of a thing. I didn't get any hypoglycemic sides when i tried IM. And i know others who only do it that way. I went back to sub-q. But i prob should have thought about the possible sides before i went experimenting with my health when i tried IM.

I wouldnt mind IM, right into the delt would be easy, but I want to make sure nothing too bad will happen. The pins I bought are kinda short, so i want sure if they were going deep enough into my stomach fat

Diabetics do sub-q

Hospitals do sub-q

Diabetic informational guides say to do sub-q

Insulin needles are designed to do sub-q

Based on the above I have and will continue to do sub-q and would suggest the same
