First slin injection tommorrow!

**GeoQuadzilla** · 09-29-2004, 10:16 PM

Just wondering about one thing... When doing a sub-c injection... Do you just pinch the skin and inject into the middle of pinched skin... or aim to inject under the pinched area? Thanks fellaz, I am pumped to try this out!!

**Gear** · 09-30-2004, 03:13 AM

Pinch a bit of skin where your abdominals are and inject all the way in.

**Gear** · 09-30-2004, 03:22 AM

Dont stop half way and inject in the middle, inject right in. Push the needle right in.

**bigjohnr** · 09-30-2004, 04:16 AM

from what I hear it is better to inject slin right into the muscle using a slin pin

**angelxterminator** · 09-30-2004, 05:52 AM

yes your much better off going IM with your shot!

**GeoQuadzilla** · 09-30-2004, 05:56 AM

So, inject my slin like I would any other AAS?

Remember though that IM slin injections will take effect quicker. It is absorbed faster so in essence there is a smaller window for you to down your dextrose/protein shake.

**GeoQuadzilla** · 09-30-2004, 07:54 AM

Will this cut down on the total duration of the slin... or just the initial jump start?

There is also a post here at AR about IM slin injects, but I couldn't find the one I was looking for. Try runnin' a search here too.

**joevette** · 09-30-2004, 09:14 AM

With humalog it cuts the total duration in half.

**angelxterminator** · 09-30-2004, 09:17 AM

yes the activity peaks faster, and it is out of your system quicker. I use 12iu pwo IM in my bicep! Then i drink 72g dex(6grams per iu) and 10 grams of creatine with 5 grams glutamine. Then i wait 15 minutes and down a protein shake, then i wait an hour and eat a pro/carb meal with another scoop of whey isolate...

You should use 10g per iu of dex to start to see how your body reacts. For some reason i can get away with taking 6g per iu, and then waiting an hour to eat!

didnt you post a thread a week or 2 ago saying how low your BG levels were after injecting your slin?? you never mentioned you were only taking in 6g/iu..theres your problem right there

**GeoQuadzilla** · 09-30-2004, 11:57 AM

I have humalin R fellaz... will Intra M injections bring the duration down with that also?

no thats not my problem at all. and the problem was not low blood sugar, rendering your post useless

the problem was the abnormal stability of my blood sugar levels. At 6-7g per iu i feel no hypo symptoms and monitor my BG levels, i am fine. It doesn't even feel like i require the pwo meal

yes shooting it IM will increase how fast ANY substance peaks in you blood. That includes all insulin . Although humalog is a much faster acting slin, and you would be better off spending the extra $10 to get that. The quicker in and out the better off you are!

**GeoQuadzilla** · 09-30-2004, 12:22 PM

My Doctor gives me this stuff for free... so i can't go wrong with free

**angelxterminator** · 09-30-2004, 12:23 PM

(unless you shoot something IV, that is obviously the fastest way possible). IV injections for insulin would be entirely stupid though. If you didn't know what to expect your levels could peak so fast you end up out cold and hypoglycemic before you even realized it was active in your body!

true true, but is insulin really that expensive anyway?

**GeoQuadzilla** · 09-30-2004, 12:27 PM

I agree, but he gave it to me and I graciously accepted... I'm going to shot IM, get my dex into me right away, my whey 15 mins later, solid food an hour later, and an hour an a half later after that... i'll have another meal... Keeping glucose pills handy just incase... This should do me fine... I would shoot Sub-c if I knew the proper way to shoot.

my bad bro,the way i read it was that you were having trouble keeping your bg levels up.heres your post.

BGL has been very weird. Just got my monitor yesterday, and 4 hours after my slin shot (6iu humalog IM) i was at 51 mg/dl for my blood glucose... that is 4 HOURS later. Then later on after i ate it went up to 76.

Now i just tested it before a pro/fat meal, had oatmeal and a shake 2 and ahalf hours ago, and its 67mg/dl right now... is this normal?

i experienced no hypo symptoms at all yesterday when i was at 51mg/dl....

GOEQUADZILLA...sorry for the hi jack bro

yes your correct my BG was low. That was 2 hours after the insulin cleared my system though.

I belive in my next post i came out with my real concern, which was my stable readings after my shot. I think i took them in 10 minute intervals.

Thanks for the input though bro!

**GeoQuadzilla** · 09-30-2004, 09:47 PM

will do man, might even set up a little cycle diary.

Remember to eat the proper amount of carbs per amount of slin..I've seen one guy get his levels all f****d up, he looked like he wanted to die...be careful and good luck.
