    Insulin, why is more better??

    Ive worked my way up from 3iu insulin, to 15iu insulin postworkout. I'd like to know why MORE is better?
    Apart from taking more, i think i nearly went hypo an hour ago, started shaking and feeling dizzy, so shoved shit loads of carbs down my neck!
    As for results, yea ive got bigger, but not sure if thats down to the test prop, also because ive got more bodyfat, its really hard to tell about gains if u see what i mean.
    Anyway, what does more insulin do, rather than less??? can anyone share?

    Who told you more is better?

    Insulin should be molded around your diet.
    Not the other way around.

    So if youre adding in carbs and food just to so that you can shoot more slin... thats too much.

    I felt the need to add more carbs because i thought i was going hypo.
    Usually ill take the least carbs i possibly can without feeling to faint.
    Ive seen pro bb's take upto 25iu's, just wonder why they take such a massive amount.

    And to answer your question...

    More insulin shoves more nutrients into various places. Muscle cells, fat stores, etc.

    It also lowers cortisol and raises IGF somewhat.

    But you dont need to keep raising your slin dose.
    Or else youll reach a point where youll never get enough carbs in you to match the slin dose and youll go hypo.
    Like you did.

    The better bet is to do more than one shot throughout the day.

    One with breakfast.

    One pre workout.

    One post workout.

    (for example)

    This way you can lower your dose to make the slin dose match your diet macros. 6ius for a meal that has 60g of carbs for example.

    And get the benefit of the nutrient shuttling with more meals.

    But in reality you shouldnt have to eat the amount of carbs to match the iu dose at the same time.

    If you shoot 8ius of slin... depending on what type of slin you are shooting... its active for a certain amount of hours.
    So lets say you shoot 8ius and its active for 2 hours. Then you break that 80g of carbs up into that 2 hours.
    Take in 40g of carbs with the shot and then about an hour later get in another 40gs of carbs to get your total of 80g per 8ius.

    Get me?

    Just always keep candy, soda or glucose tabs with you all the time in case the slin peaks again and you need sugar to prevent hypo

    Because they are pros.

    They also take 5-10 grams of injectables a week too.

    But you dont do that do ya?

    Does insulin react in a negative way with HGH when you're sleeping? I saw a video that says insulin in your body when you sleep will lower the amount of HGH your body makes and uses. Is this true?

    You should not have any active slin in your system before bed.

    EVER.

    Especially if youre shooting GH before bed.

    SO basically no carbs an hour before bed?

    Hahah Oh now you tell me!

    Thats a whole different story man.

    These protocols and outlines are for abuse of things we DONT need.

    You need insulin.

    Different ballgame.

    Having high levels of insulin before bed WILL blunt natural GH secretion.

    As will having carbs in your system.

    Which carbs and slin basically go hand in hand for us.

    So yes, most suggest no to low carbs before bed.

    Slow digesting proteins and fats are okay.
