    I have not actually passed out, but when I first started using I had to work late so my workout was late. That left me pinning at 9 which is an hour before I usually go to bed. Well I had read that the active life was approx 2 hrs so I stayed up that long (struggling) then went to bed. Woke up about 12 soaked in sweat with my heart beating so hard I could hear it in my ears, after drinking some sugar water I was so disoriented that I remember thinking I was supposed to do something with 911 but I did not know if I was supposed to log onto this website to do it....So safe to say I was probably pretty close to passing out. Finally about 15 minutes later it finally passed.

    Interesting note: I have recently looked up the active life again and its listed as 3-5 hrs...maybe they have read my posts and revised their estimates JOKE or more likely I should have checked more than one source :-)

    Humalog normally mostly clears my system in about 2.5 hrs, but being tired can greatly extend Humalogs active life. Lesson learned, Dont Pin Slin When Tired.

    Hey, it did sound pretty similar to my description ha.....The active life is for a DIABETIC! You are not diabetic right????

    Your body still makes insulin which is why I said it can be more dangerous...Plus everyone is different, so I would suggest not taking before bed until you know your bodies reaction to it perfectly.....
