How do you feel after taking a shot of insulin?

[Tman2002]

I've been taking 12 iu's of humalog or humulin r in the morning and after training. I take in plenty of carbs and protein about 120 grms of carbs at least 100 grams of protein. But I dont feel the extreme full muscle feeling some describe and I dont feel sleepy. Also I weigh about 250 and I'm not fat.

|--[\\\]>-------- Well i only feel full and tired after i take mine b/c i take mine directly after a workout. i take it post workout 15ius of LOG and then drink a post workout shake mix of protein, carbs, glute. then i go home and i pound 2 meals out and a shake b4 hitting the sack and by then, i REALLY feel the 'tired' part.

Shouldn't really feel anything if you get it right. I think the fullness is like BBA says, more to do with it being post-workout. Should have no real "feeling" to it. Tiredness or problems concentrating/confusion are a sign you need to up your blood sugars promptly. IronMike

I'm about 250 pounds not fat/not really lean iether but do you think I should slowly up my dose an iu at a time till I feel signs of hypo?

agree with BBA and IM...


Tman, I don't you should take more than 10-12ius at a time...JMO. I'm 260 lbs at 12% bf and never go above 12iu.
