Insulin?????

[DYNO]

Im planning on using Humalog for a bridge in a few weeks.

My problem is I work out late at night. Im usually in bed within a couple of hours of training.

Do you think that there will be much difference If I took it early in the day then after I work out??

Thanks for your input guys!

dont know much , but from what I have read its been to take it right after your workout to flush everything into your muscles.
i would think taking it in the morning without working out would make you gain fat.
Not positive, but didnt want your post to be hanging out there!!

yup by far the best time is right after training...same theory as taking sugar right after training(cell tech). after training hit up your slin, your 10 grams of sugars per unit of slin and about 60 grams of protein. then hit the sack.

Hey jc21, is a sport drink (carbo force, blue thunder, or equivlent) something you use, or do you have some other post workout meal? Just looking for some ideals. Trying to get a better understanding of inslin use.

Mix your own drink to have immediatly after the shot, and always make sure you have something with a lot of sugar in it on hand in case you start getting hypo symptoms. Look for acnemans slin post, this is not something to mess around with and you really need to do a lot more research before even considering it. Not trying to flame but I dont wanna see a post about someone dieing cause they went hypo while sleepign cause they took a slin shot at night. The best time to take your shot is post workout, humalog is out of your body in two hours I belive so just try and do your workouts a little earlier if you can and make sure your up for a few hours after that slin shot. Not only are you supposed to drink your post shot shake right away, but also eat a meal an hour after the shot, and then eat again about an hour of that. You dont want fats for a few hours prior to and following the slin shot. As I said before just look for acnemans post and thats where you can find out almost everything you need, and be careful.

i use dextrose from proteinfactory.com make sure you use a high glycemic sugar like dextrose. and i take about 60 grams of protein...make sure it is a shake cause it needs to be digested fast.

I use 3 scoops of the powdered gatorade and 3 scoops of whey, it's working great so far

 

[jc21]

hey needsize...if i were you i would stay away from the gatorade. it is made up of sucrose and fructose mostly...these two arent the best to take post training.

 

[needsize]

I dont know if the powdered has a different formula, but on the ingrediants list, sugar and dextrose are the first two things listed, and by law they have to list them in order of most to least

Do NOT sleep after taking slin, even 'log for 4 hours. Shit would make me tired and want to nap but I would fight it. Didn't want to take a nap I wouldn't wake up from

I also train at night, and will be taking 5 ius of log post w/o. I think even with log you should be careful 3-4 hours after the inj. You need to experiment and see how your body reacts, but particularly at first I would make sure, I get the 10 grams of dex. post w/o, protein and carb meal about an hour later, and another protein and carb drink before bedtime. I also ordered the Dex from PF and also ordered a whey mix (so it goes thru more quickly) along with glut peptides and creatine - all of which will be in the post slin shake

I have never used slin before now, so I'm not sure how my body will react. It is better to be safe than sorry. It is possible to go hypo during sleep.

Good luck and be safe!!
