humalog 30iu go to hospital or not.

[hulk007]

i have always wanted a proffesional opinion on this,i have been taking 10 iu of humalog and 6 iu gh post workout.i cycle this year around.what happens if accidently i would take 30 iu of humalog instead of the 10 iu.do i take in 3 times as many carbs as i would take for 10 iu or would i half to rush to the hospital and what would they do there.

Thats a good question. I would like to know too. I was half asleep and did my morning shot of hg and then drew my slin after. I wasn't thinking and almost drew up 10ius for every 1 iu. I was wondering why I had so much slin in the pin. This scared the shit out of me. I am so aware of this now that I would never make the same mistake again.

you just take in alot more carbs. obviously its not advisable and you would have to be a moron to make a mistake like that but if you did then you best consume about 200g of carbs asap

a friend of mine accidently took 50iu's last week...he was fine...said the hypo kicked in really fast and hard..he just ate some fruit and he was good to go

thank you guys.i always try to make sure not to keep my vial of hgh too close to the bottle of humalog when i inject them with separate insulin needles.i know you can do it all in one but i prefer to use two needles.

I can tell you as a medical professional that you will be fine, just know the signs of hypoglycemia and keep some dextrose or maltodextrin close at hand. I take slin after large body part workouts and keep, and no i am not kidding, sweettarts in my gym bag. If you look at the main ingredient of the candy you will see they are dextrose and maltodextrin. Crazy huh? Anyway, just watch for sleepiness, diaphoresis (sweating), thirst, hunger, and most of all dizziness and disorientation. the last two are the final warning signs. No one can say different, because I have the medical training/background/education to back it up. The first couple are the initial stages of hypo, the last two are the ones where you will see me standing over you after starting an IV and giving you and amp of dextrose to wake you up from your diabetic coma. Remember the brain cannot burn anything except sugar for energy so when you start to feel the aforementioned signs or symptoms, get some dextrose or maltodextrin. no matter what anyone says, this is the best. fruit is ok, but fructose is actually low glycemic as far as how fast it get broken down into glycogen, so it should be last resort if nothing else if available. Gatorade is actually a quick fix as well. pay attention to the kind of slin your using as well. This will tell you how long you will need to watch yourself.
