Hey, there.
I have questions about insulin use for a man: (not for me.
)
1. I have read that you should run insulin 3 days on, 4 days off for no longer than 3-4 weeks at a time. Is this correct, or is it safer to run longer?
2. For every iu of insulin you inject, you should take in 10mg of carbs. This is the "safe" amount, but I have also read that 6g of carbs per iu is sufficient. Any input on this?
3. No fat for 2 hours after taking insulin?
4. When taking it for the first time, start at 2ius and gradually work your way up to a max of 10ius? How gradually?
thanks.
