Macdaddy,
After conversing with you yesterday about insulin I began to wonder how I could be carb tolerant but insulin resistant. I decided to try an experiment this morning after my workout. I would do 6 iu humalog IM with my usual postworkout shake of 100g whey and 50g simple sugar(kool-aid). I waited until I got home from the gym (trying something new, wanted my wife around in case something went wrong) and shot the 6 iu right into my left delt then chugged my shake. I went to shower and about 10 min later I could feel myself going hypo quickly. I drank another shake waited and then went through the morning routine. It has now been 1 1/2 since the shot I've eaten a whole meal and I still feel a little "off". I'm wondering if maybe my skin is too thick to allow an even distribution of the slin, because that was a major difference with the IM shot. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for opening up my eyes and getting me thinking. I really appreciate all the help. -D

Hey bro, glad to be of some help. Yeah, IM hits much faster and you know you get every iu. I always shoot IM. The other thing is depending on what time you train, your blood glucose levels can vary. You say you trained in the AM today. If you did not eat anything pre workout and did a good solid workout, your blood glucose levels would be vertually non existant. (optimal time for slin) Therfore when you shoot the slin, you will need more grams of carbs per iu. The best thing to do with slin is get into a routine. That way you can be sure your blood glucose levels are always the same at time of injection.

Best of luck bro.

Macdaddy,
When you shoot IM do you do it like BigKiwi, and put it in the bodypart you trained, or just stick it wherever? Also, If going into a specific part, do you split the dosage; ie 3iu each bicep? Thanks again bro.

Naaa, I pretty much always shoot my delts. I can see them easily and there is not much fat on them. Plus I do a few injections per day, so I just rotate delts. I never split the dose on one injection because I don't think you will get much site inhancement out of it. It circulates so fast that you will benifit everywhere from it. (Especially humolog)
