    the thing is with Lantus your likely not ever going to be put in the hospital or go extreme hypo because of it. even if you go without carbs all day long.. its so steady and slow acting, it actually gives your liver time to produce enough glucose to cover you.
    whereas something like Humalog, if you forget your carbs you may be screwed

    Well dammit... Looks like I need some lantus too for my bridge. It looks scary. Worst case scenario I would be hungry as hell all the time I guess lol

    sounds like a good thing to me.

    I'm going to be adding Lantus into my current insulin protocol . I need the appetite increase as well . also need to run some Humalog on top of it at high dose to force me to have to eat carbs just so I don't die. . going to put on this weight one way or another

    It sounds stupid but I would rather go hypo and be wanting to eat everything than choke down meals all the time.
    I feel your pain.

    This is why you must check your wikr... I will die first because whatever dosage he recommends I will be running double or so.

    Insulin suppresses Cortisol (blocks catabolism) and lowers SHBG (thus freeing up more testosterone) AND helps up regulate the conversion of T4 into T3 . so , I'm going to be adding a long acting insulin like Lantus on top of my normal regular acting insulin protocol (or humalog) . basically to give me 24 hours worth of insulin. I'll be upping my calories during this phase. I'll be trying to put on some more size and having 24/7 insulin support (and the above benefits I mentioned) will help me partition and put more of those calories to use.

    Lantus is the safest insulin to use cause its so steady and slow your liver can keep up with it and thus prevent going hypo if you don't get in enough dietary carbs.
    having said that,, I'm still going to be running 25iu of my regular acting insulin on top of the lantus. so that 'safety net' doesn't really apply in my case, but would for someone only using Lantus
