Need insulin advice!

[sezar29]

First of all .Hello Everybody! This is my first post, but have been reading EF forums forever...

I have a couple questions regarding insulin...( I have been a type 1 diabetic for 22 years, so I know all the ins and outs, just giving a heads up on that...)

I am presently using 2 kinds of insulin,, Levemir witch is active for about 24 hrs with no spikes in how it lowers blood sugar..( It just acts evenly for its whole life) I take 25 iu's everyday.

I also take about 4 iu's humalog before meals, ( and about 20 iu's 3/4 of the way in my workout)

I COULD control my diabetes with just the humalog if there was a significant advantage,,,so my question is, would i have a better chance of shedding fat by not having the long acting insulin ( Levemir) in my system all the time? Or do you guys figure it would be counter productive for my muscle gains to not have any insulin circulating in my system at all after the humalog wears off?

I have a good whole foods diet except for a pre and post workout weight gainer shake to fuel the humalog, Oh! Im 35 yrsold 6' @ 200 lbs , Thanks in advance for any info!!

hey bro!
first of all, there are 2 things were not alowed to discuss on this forum, insulin and dnp.

this is beacause its 2 dangerous compounds, and will kill u if not doing right.
and newcomers here on ef getting ideas, it can end bad.

but i can give u my thoughts on this, hope i dont get shit for this.

the rules for u as an diabetic, is different for me, think of that.

when ive taking my slin before and after workouts, i zero my fat intake.
slin deliver nutriens to the body and muscles, but also fat...so thats why.

and when u have slin active in the body a whole day....not watching the fatintake....u get my point...it gets delivered as well as the protein and carbs.

more than that a cant give u any advices wheter u should skip the long acting or not.
