insulin in the morning what to eat

[jf24]

was curious to know wich one of you uses liquid carbs and protein vs solid carbs and protein right after a shot in the morning.Me personally i use a solid meal about 25 min after injection in the morning but pwo i use liquid carbs and protein and solid meal comes 1h30 after pwo injection.Post your way of doing it should be interesting to see different way to use insulin

Liquid nutrion will always be digested faster because it's on liquid form. This is why we have shakes PWO as we need that immidiate recovery. Whole foods will take longer to digest but your body recognises whole foods a lot easier than processed nutrition (such as powders).

Everyone is different when it comes to this. I try and stay away from shakes and eat whole foods instead. The only time I have a shake is PWO, throughout the day and for dinner, I am always eating whole foods. I believe this is the best way to go about it as nothing can replace proper food.

what i ment gear is after aslin shot in the morning do you go with whole food all the way till slin is active or do you take a lquid meal then whole food the rest of the way

personally i have a shake right after shooting my 10ius that consists of 45grams carbd and 55g protein. 45min to an hour later i'll eat my 1st meal and its all solids from there on. make sure you avoid the fat during your meals

You need carbs to balance slin. You can buy a glucose meter for about $20 and the test sticks for 40 - 50 cents each. With this you can adjust your dose and your carb intake to balance it. You can get these items at a WalMart (their product is called ReliOn Ultima).

I keep honey close by just in case my glucose level falls below 65 and have some sweet tarts in my glove box. You can tune up your insulin usage and/or check to see if you are pushing it too far by directly measuring your blood glucose with a meter.
