I've been doing my HGH and Insulin pre workout for quite awhile now. Today I had about 35 grams of carbs from Oatmeal about 15 minutes before heading to the gym. Right before I walked out the door I injected 10iu of fast acting insulin. I normally take an intra shake with glutamine, bcaa, creatine and 30-35 grams of HBCD for my carb source. I'm about 4-5 sets into my 1st body part of the day and took a sip of my intra and realized immediately I had forgotten the HBCD. I almost panicked but thought about it a minute and realized I had never gone hypo before so I gathered my bearings and remembered I had a pack of Jolly Rancher gummies in my gym bag and a packet of honey. I continued my workout (about 40 sets) and chomped on a gummy every few minutes without any issues. I guess the moral of my story is if you use insulin always be sure to have some backup carbs handy just in case. I could have aborted mission and went back home but my time in the gym is sacred and I never want to miss a training day. Those gummies in my bag saved the day.
