Dextrose post workout will increase/spike your natural insulin levels.
however, when injecting slin, it is suggested to consume dextrose immediately after you inject. why doesnt this send your slin levels even higher and become more dangerous?
first, i dont understand why you would want to spike it by two different methods. (1) by injection, and (2) by consuming dextrose. why not just choose one or the other.
second, people say to consume the dextrose or any sugars immediately after injecting slin, b/c if not you can become hypoglycemic.
so it seems like dextrose does two opposite things. (1) it increase slin levels, and (2) it stablizing your body from increased slin levels. i guess im a little confused on how it can do both.
The amount of insulin you're going to get from just taking some dextrose is nothing like what you get from injecting insulin. The reason you take dextrose with it isn't to raise insulin, but because if you have too much insulin in the body and not enough carbs, you go hypo.
Your body produces insulin in response to excess glucose in the blood, thus moving it into muscle and fat cells.
If you take exogenous insulin then it will force glucose from your blood into muscle and fat cells, this may cause low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) which can result in death. Therefor extra glucose/dextrose must be supplied to compensate for this .
Think that covers it as simply as possible!!
