When can you nap after humilin R

[vic99]

I work out around mid day and like to nap once and a while. When is it ok to nap after a slin shot? I have always waited about 3.5 hours. Do I have to wait if I dont feel hypo? What is the rule of thumb on this?

Most would tell you to wait the 3 hours at least. I lift at night and take my slin shot pwo, which is only about 2hours before I go to bed for the night and never had any problems. I would not chance it by taking a nap, just not worth it.

you might get away with having a nap like that with humalog but not humlin R i just wouldent risk it. I wouldent sleep untill the slin was inactive it's just not worth it IMO

How long have you been on slin? And have you felt hypo before. As long as you know your body you will be ok napping.

What do you think all of us diabetics do?

As long as you know your body I see no problems. I've taken humalog right before bed and was fine.

I have been experimenting with meal timing. So far the hardest part is to eat 1 hr after 100 grams of dextrose and 60 of whey. I feel like I want to puke eating an hr later.
