Insulin Measurments

[Kmac 13]

Well first of all my dad is a type 1 diabetic and has plenty of extra Humalog vials in the fridge and hundreds off unused U-100 needles so i've recently decieded to go on a insulin cycle. I have done countless hours of research and before i begin the cycle i wanted to ask a few simple questions that i had trouble finding on the internet. First off i am trying to gain muscle over the summer for football this coming fall and started working out around january, and yes my dad is completly fine with me experimenting with insulin. I probably going to start my cycle with a PWO 5iu injection and increase it from there to 10 - 12 iu at the most. my first question is pretty newbie but i seariously couldn't find an answer for it. "iu" stands for units correct? Also on a U-100 syringe there are 5 lines and then a 10 unit mark, therefore would 2 lines equal 4 units? or would 4 lines equal 4 unit? my last question, can having a ciggarete before working out take away from my gains in the gym? cause i know that it slow your blood circulation down but im not sure if thats too serious?

thanks for your input,
Kevin

I'm refrain from any other comments and simply answer your question that pertains to this Forum.

The "10" on a U-100 Slin pin is 10iu. So 2 little lines will be 4iu (your starting dose). You're correct.....................

Alright thanks Jayhova, it just seemed like a very small amount a slin. But I started my cycle today with 4 iu, thanks again.
