hi

i just started add insulin to my cycle of steroids and GH

i started 5units post work out

i have done exaclty what is required regarding intakes 10 to 15 min ( 50 gram protien ,50 gram carbs , 5g creatine ,5g gultamine ,dextrose )

then meal after 1.5 hours

however i felt so sick like dizzyness and cant breath well , woke up feeling headaache and flu like pain

That insulin requires 15gm carb per unit. To cover that 75gm is needed otherwise you become hypoglycemic and you dont want to go there. You must check your glucose and watch out for lows.

Not sure where u got the 15gr per iu from.

Yah 15g per iu is alot
10g is good some go down to 7g
15 is alot
To the OP
When did u feel sick ? How many hrs after the slin shot you went to sleep ?

If you went to sleep within three hours of using insulin , you really need to STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE YOU KILL YOURSELF.

If you get sleepy, it's because you are going into hypoglycemia, which if left to get worse, will put you in a coma, followed by death. That is how people die from insulin use.
Where did you inj. the humalog?

I started at 10 and kept decreasing until I found sweet spot. I use 10iu apidra ( fast like humalog and novolog) and drink 50gr glycofuse immediately. 75gr whey shake within 30 min and big meal without fats within 90min. I've never used it for more than 10 or 12 days in a row. I wont use more til this fall when bulking again.

hate to hijack but i've been considering the idea of using slin, is there some informative thread on uses and how to's?

i have switched from humalog lispro to humilin R and found it much easier to control
i started 2 iu and thanks god no side effects , i will increase one iu till reach 7 iu ,
i really advice to use humilin r instead of humalog lispro
they say the suration is 4 hours but i was feeling the side effect for more than 8 hours

Using apidra as well, went down to 4g/iu in shake right after injection and another 40g low GI in meal 45 mins after injection (roughly 30mins after shake)... No hypo no problem.. BG levels pretty low but did not feel a thing maybe because of the 3 months long pre contest diet lol
