Is Humulin R even worth the trouble?

[BB2K]

I have some Humulin R (insulin) I have read it really helps with keeping one lean and building muscle. BUT I also read the down sides, i was planning on just 1iu a day for a few days and see how it did but all the other mumbo jumbo you have to do makes me think twice. Having to take it right after a workout is ok but that 6 to 8 hour window of tracking sugar levels and having dextrose close by seems to be a bit troublesome. I wanted to know if any of you guys have tried it, did you like it? how did you cycle it? etc.

Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing myself. I really believe it would have an impact, but I think it would take a while to see some results because everyone is different and one would have to "play" with the dosages to find out what works best. Also, insulin is very dangerous if used incorrectly and monitoring your blood sugar would be a MUST!

I think I am just going to skip it. I dont always have the "time" to monitor my sugar and do something about it if it gets low. My work schedule is to screwy.

Really? Well i am all for learning more on it. I am just concerned about OD'ing or blood sugar dropping. I work 2 jobs and its hard to get food in sometimes, i just want to make sure i do it right so i dont have to worry about blood sugar or death. I know it does a fine job but it appears to be a more attention to detail thing. I searched for your log on it, got a link by chance? You have a ton of threads, I got to page 5 and still didnt see it. Sorry to bug ya on this.

theres diffrent choices for insulin but u want to stick with humalog its the best for what your after and also u need to read on nutrition in regards to using insulin cause u can out yourself in a coma if you dont have your nutrion in tact. insulin can shuttle alot of nutrients to the muscles and youll grow like crazy but plz do inform yourself first on this topic
