how much insulin is produced in a not diabetic body. i am a diabetic therefore i need to take insulin, high doses of insulin aparently make you bigger.
thats good.
when being a diabetic does insulin have the same mass effects compared to a person taking insulin that is not a diabetic?
hope ya can help! ok thanks guys!
your over estimating the brains of the people reading your message....typical thought right now is "insulin is for diabetes?"
You being a type I diabetic can be to your advantage. Which types of insulins are you using now? If you're using only real long-acting insulin (like lantus), then it really can't be used to your advantage, but if you're using a long-acting insulin in addition to Humalog to fine tune your BG, then dosing and timing the Humalog to better cater to anabolism/anticatabolism can be accomplished. It's not as much the quantity as it is the timing of the insulin, and your dietary intake after injection.
einstein just put me in my place
the insulins i use are HUMALOG and NPH or also known as N insulin.
i eat healthy food, in quite high proportions. high carb, high protein kinda thing.
before meals humalog is taken, meanwhile N insulin is taken in the morning and before bed. N works from 3-12 hours in length. humalog being short, finishing its work in relativly 3 hours.
what kinda foods should be taken at meals, since insulin is always in me.
i eat at least every 3 hours, snacks and all. for optimum blood sugar control. i have also been using creatine for about 3 months, and am gettin some good mass results. currently 5'11'' 200 pounds. before increased insulin doses, and before i started creatine, i was about 188.. 12 pound gain in 3 months.
i also, sometimes take an additional injection of humalog mid afternoon, if i am hungry or wont be exercising much.
humalog and N @ 7:30 am
humalog sometimes in early afternoon before workouts @ 1:30-ish
humalog @ supper
N @ bed
i want good results. aNY TIPS?
thanks!
The AM injection is good to suppress cortisol-mediated catabolism. The most important time for insulin (preferably Humalog) is post w/o. Go to the GH/IGF-1/insulin forum. Your situation, in that regard, isn't any different than a nondiabtetic.
so an extra shot of humalog before a workout is a good idea..yes?
juices or foods must also be taken in at that time.
i dont understand some of the catabolism and insulin forum stuff though, i really couldn't tell ya that i know what your talking about when ya say that?
would this setup be a good one:
pre-breakfast injection (7:30) HUMALOG + N INSULIN
PRE-WORKOUT (1:30) HUMALOG
Pre-supper HUMALOG
Pre-bedtime N INSULIN
sounds good?
No .....POST workout.Quote:
