I've been using insulin preworkout and have worked up to 6iu.
Thing is I'm going hypo hours after my shot, I understand novorapid(insulin aspart can remain active between 3-5hours so I have most of my daily carbs within this time period) but even still I'm going hypo North of 5hours post pin I think I may need to change carb sources.
15mins pre workout-pin novorapid
5mins later- drink 50g maltodextrin, eaas, glutamine, leucine, taurine, electrolytes, citrulline malate, creatine
Get to the gym (takes 5mins) (workout is around 90mins with warming up) start warming up then sip intra shake between sets finishing before end of workout (100g dextrose, eaas, glutamine, leucine, taurine, electrolytes, citrulline malate, creatine
Get home (5mins after finishing gym)
Drink 125g cream of rice, 70g whey
Around 30-40mins after this shake I get a hypo, bg reading of around 3.3(58/59)
I'll have about 20g fast carbs wait 10mins recheck bg and if its gone up I'll have a meal usually, bagel, egg whites, with oats whey and veg.
There's been times I've checked 10mins later and the bg has dropped so repeat the fast carbs and check again.
An hour after that meal, again the bg is down to around 72 which is when I'll have another meal, chicken, pasta veg.
Am I going hypo because of the cream of rice is spiking my own bg too much too fast and causing me to dump more insulin. Would it be better to half the amount of cream of rice and replace the amount of carbs with powdered oats in the same shake.
Sorry for the long post, thanks in advance cheers guys
