I recently bought some Glycofuse, usually post workout I use Karbolyn or when I run out of it I use my back up powder which is AST's product DGC (Dextrorotatory Glucose Crystals).
From what I have read online HBCD's have very little effect on insulin levels. I am also on a CKD diet and today is the carb up post workout this afternoon. To me it sounds like HBCD's are really only useful pre or intra workout (on a normal non CKD diet) since it doesn't spike insulin much. I really want to take advantage of a product that spikes insulin since my carb up only lasts about 30 hours every 7 days so I am not sure HBCD's are what I want on a CKD diet.
I am sure one could argue HBCD's would be good to just add to whey protein towards the end of the carb up before I start eating fat/protein and no carbs again.
Any ideas on this would be appreciated.
