anybody have experience with slin injections intramuscular vs. sub Q? Would intramuscular give Humilin R a action more like Humalog in terms of peak and duration?
Thanks.

To ensure reliable insulin absorption, injection must be a subcutaneous injection rather than an intra-muscular injection. Hope this helps.

Nein, the properties of the humilin analogue are set by its molecular structure, injection site variability will only quicken its onset, not peak or duration. Stick to subq, otherwise you risk putting it all in a vein or something, and then its sleepy time.

Thank you for the replys
So the onset would be the only change? other than the risk.

I say the onset is quicker and more predictable going IM. Thats how I do it. I did sub-q ONCE and it was just too unpredictable for me (probably BECAUSE I was used to IM shots)
You also have the (rare) side effect of lipohypertrophy. I dont want any more fat growing were I already have fat.

So as long as you asperate (SP) then IM would be better?
It depends on your experiance level and your own preferance bro.
Sub-q is safer in the sense that you wont ever have to worry about hitting a vein. But for me (again, probably just because im used to IM), Sub-q is less predictable, the only time i did it, was the onyl time I felt like I was going hypo. Going sub-q can also promote lipohypertrophy (and by definition, going sub-Q is going to a place where you already have fat).
IMs onset is quicker (and to me easier to predict, however most slin vets will tell you that IM is more dangerous, and they may be right in most cases, so dont ignore that warning). And you lower youchances of developing too much (provided you eat super clean, of course).
