Is it worthwhile to try to manipulate (raise) you natural insulin levels for a period after a work out?
The reason I ask is that I have been practically forced to help out with a very old relative who has recently been diagnosed as a diabetic. They started by putting her on a set level of slin in the morning and a lesser dose in the evening. BUT... the other day, she slumped over in a chair and could not move at all and we checked her blood levels and it was @ 52 on the digital readout. I called my mother who is a RN and asked her what was the best way to raise the level (number) quickly and she advised to drink an 8 oz glas of OJ with 1 teaspoon of sugar added. The blood levels were raised to 110 after just 40 minutes.
I bought a blood test kit and tested mine and found that my morning levels were averaging between 90 and 110 and if I drink a 12oz glass of OJ with 1 teaspoon of sugar, the levels would go to up to 170 very quicly and maintain those #'s for a couple of hours.
What would be a good blood level number to shoot for to try to make it help with building muscle...or would it work at all? It seems to me that if you were to drink this mix just prior to a workout, then your natty slin levels would be raised and you could probably get them higher and maintain it for a better part of the day, and then have them lowered again before bedtime.
Let me know some opinions.
