Taking slin 15 mins PWO

**Civic0** · 02-17-2009, 10:15 PM

Here is my problem. I have my humalog slin in the fridge, and dont want to keep taking it back and forth to the gym with me. Nor do I want to take pre-filled syringes with me b.c the insulin will become cold and I dont want to get pulled over with anyhting like that on me (knock on wood)

Now, I live 10 mins away from my gym. Can I rush home and take the insulin 10-15 mins PWO with my carb/protein drink? Should this affect the effects of the slin? Please let me know! i start tomorrow!

10-15 min, no. Of course the shorter the time the better. It's purpose is to put your body back in the positive nitrogen balance to avoid catabolism.

of course you can. its best when used asap after workingout in my mind but if you have to wait 15min then so be it.

My NO (answer) was to his last question, Will it affect the effects of slin?

Yes you can, but the sooner you have it the better.

doesnt matter if the insulin becomes hot as long as it is not in direct contact with the sun it can be at room temperature for 30 days

that's NOT what the directions say that come with the Humalog, so I'll listen to them.

it can be stored at room temp for 28 days. after that you should throw it away

**Flex-Appeal** · 02-19-2009, 03:15 PM

Slin is not meant to become hot/cold hot/cold. If it arrives at room temp, which is standard, then refrigerate and leave at that temp.

i dont agree at all just by puting it in a syringe for 2-3 hours at room temperature wont make your slin unusable come on i do it all the time

wait...for 28 days its good for? thats it? does this mean that mine is 3 months old and no good now?!?!

**jf24** · 02-22-2009, 08:51 PM

28 days at room temperature but if its in the fridge its good for months

The sooner the better as everyone states.

I always brought mine right to the gym. Popped it in the locker room right when I was done and sipped on my shake on the way home. Always worked like a charm.

It wont hurt it sitting in your locker for an hour. As JF stated, as long as it's not in direct heat you'll be ok.

keep us posted and let us know how it goes.

Doesn't Gavin Kane's GH + SLIN protocol advocate using GH immediately PWO and then waiting 20-30 mins to shoot slin anyway?...

***SPIKE*** · 02-23-2009, 02:45 PM

Gavin and I went back and forth on his board a few years ago on his recommended protocol. I still believe now what I did then when we were debating. GH early AM and Slin immediately PWO. I dont like having carbs around the time of my GH injection so try to separate the two.
