Hello there,
So I have been on insulin for two weeks now. It is my first time trying it. I use Humalog insulin. I have started with 4 units post workout and as I started I used the recommended 10 gr of carbs (dextrose) per unit of insulin + 50 gr of protein in a shake 15 minutes after the injection. I followed one hour after with a carbs + protein meal (without any fat as recommended).
Currently I am using 30 units post workout with a shaker of only 50 gr of dextrose (which is quite low in regards to the recommended amount) and I feel nothing! No hypo! I have the impression that I could cope with the injection and only have a shake composed of proteins and no carbs and just do fine. I although have to mention that I have the impression that my muscles are fuller and that I might have more strength in the gym but it is hard to tell if it is due to insulin. I’m 5ft8 and 231 lbs. I’m currently bulking (eating around 5000 calories a day with around 650 gr of carbs) and on a tren A, test P, Masteron cycle. My question is therefore if this is normal or if it might be possible that I’m insulin resistant? What do you guys think?
Thanks for the help!
