I've yet to do that bro.But recently I asked this exact question to several high level competitors.What they do is use the slin the day prior to the comp for carb loading.They use small doses throughout the day with high carb meals.
I think the dose is dependant on your own personal experience.Try a lite dose of 4 iu's with one meal and see how you do with that.If need be,up the dose slightly your next carb load meal.
Good luck with the comp bro!!!Kick some ass!

I posted a thread on this about a month ago and didnt recieve too many responses.

What Pinn just stated I got from a very high level BB'er as well. He said that the day prior to his show he used small doses with every major meal. 3-4 shots that day. That was his trick but dont know of anyone else that has tried that. If you use it incorrectly you might come on stage not looking your absolute best. And since your show is approaching you want to be 100% comfortable.

Best of Luck Ment1on!!!

IMO i wouldnt risk it, ideally you should have tried it a few weeks ago so that you would be sure how your body was going to respond.

It would be a shame for all those weeks of hard dieting and training to be wasted at the last minute.

Point well taken, maybe i'll try it the morning of the show, thats only a thought for now. but thanx guys for the advice.
