shouldnt u be using fast acting carbs like dextrose?
if taking humalog?
honestly I have no freakin idea bro... I stay away from the stuff. A buddy of mine went into it blind and now I am trying to help the best I can. In my opinion he should save it for the diabetics.
ahh ok bro, im no expert either, havent used it myself, and he should have done some research...****ing idiot friend eh?
im almost sure dextrose is what most people consume after they take the insulin (humalog)
have a read of the insulin forum bro, sorry i cant be more help
Tell him to stick the insulin in the fridge until he's read everything there is to read. Insulin will be of no help to someone without a clue

I'm dead serious....you're asking the most basic of questions. If he really doesn't know the answer to that, then he has no business using insulin at this point....it'll do him no good. How many IUs is he using pwo now....and what type of slin? Also, how many carbs is he taking in pwo? These are very basic questionsQuote:

I am not sure of the type, all I know is he bought it from a diabetic gone "BAD" :eek:
I have told him this is no game, if he thought deca dick was bad, this stuff has a much more potentially permenent side "DEATH" :(
All I can do is try to help this retard out as much as I can before I have to help bury his fat ass

All he's going to do that way is get fat, and then he'll write off insulin as worthless. Please have him read through the threads in the link provided....there are several journals and helpful threads.
