Switching from humalog to humalin-r

[Tyler Durden]

I've always used humalog, between 6-12iu pwo. It doesn't seem to be available anymore, so I picked up a vial of humalin-r. What should I expect? Since I workout after my job, I usually poke the slin about 4 hours before bed, since -r is longer acting, should I move that up to earlier in the evening?

I've always used R and 4 hours before bedtime is okay as long as you load up on carbs and protein. I have never had a problem and that is about the same protocol I use.

I use novolin R, its same as humalin R. I take 10iu pre workout and i love it.

There are a few changes. Lin-r stays in your system for 6-8 hours. It spikes after 2-3 hours. Make sure to get in some carbs before bedtime or else you will wake up in a state of hypoglycemia or worse, go into a coma(rarely happens).
