Insuling Resistance?

[Pugilist_Specialist]

Hey, I started taking Humalog a few weeks ago. Started at 2iu and went up by 2iu every time i took it, 4 days a week after workouts.

I have a blood sugar monitor and ive been taking 11iu for the past week and i realised that 15grams of carbs is all i need for 11ius. Do i have some sort of insulin resistance? anyone else experienced this? im pretty sure i could inject 15iu-20iu and be more than fine with 50grams of carbs.

Are you taking some gh?
Are there diabetics in your family?

[Pugilist_Specialist]

no one in the family has diabetics and im not on GH. I've tested my blood sugar levels as soon as i wake up, its 94mg/dl which is in the normal range.

Are you sure that your slin is good?

Ye its good. This is my second run at Slin and the same effect last time, i thought the previous one was crap but this reacts the same way. Ive tested my blood sugar after taking it and it goes down but im reacting with 10iu like a normal person does 3-4iu im guessing. Just a crazy high tolerance

What's your blood glucose on empty stomach when you wake up?
Are you keeping the slin in the fridge?

[Pugilist_Specialist]

blood sugar is 94mg/dl as soon as i wake up and i keep my insulin in the fridge. The weird thing is that i can eat a 1000calorie meal and check my blood sugar go up and go down within a few hours but 10iu will not effect me to that level. its like my body releases huge amount of insulin on its own and 10iu is nothing in comparison.

I would say that you're insulin resistent in this case. Have you noticed if you tend to put on fat with diets that contain considerable amount of carbs (50% or so)?

[Pugilist_Specialist]

My diet consists mostly of carbs but i never gain fat, im one of those hardgainers. Is this a sign of diabetes later in life or just my bodies natural high levels of insulin?

[Klimax]

If you don't tend to gain fat with large amount of carbs i wouldn't say that you're very insulin resistent. But your reaction to exogenous slin is strange.
