I think the higher doses of slin the other guy is referrign to are longer-acting insulin analogs. With Humalog, 10IUs PWO is good....of course you can go higher, but that dose seems to be pretty universal.
Also, you're not taking in any carbs pre workout? That's got to be affecting your workout....it'll also really affect your BG post workout, so that the typical ratios of carbs:insulin won't be sufficient, because you'll be starting out "in the hole", so to speak. You said you felt hypo symptoms at 7g/IU...normally that'd be a good dose, but having not taken in preworkout carbs, it likely won't cut it.
After you've experienced slight hypo symptoms and seen how quickly they're overcome, you realize that as long as you have a sugar source handy, things are never out of control.
