Insulin question

[nuteboy]

Is there any real difference between injecting insulin into the muscle ( shoulder) vs. under the skin ( stomach)? I hear it gets into your system faster entering the muscle.

Speaking more of Humalog.

Yes there is a big difference... In fact there are many who strive to find humalog and I don't really know why? If you will use R in the muscle it will start acting about the same time frame as humalog... If you do this with humalog you will feel it within about 5minutes... I think its much easier to time Post Workout shots of slin with your nutrients.. Personally I like to IM hum R and sub Q hum N which has a steady peak of 8 hrs versus doing 3 hum R a day which causes ups and downs...

Yes nute, IM will hit much faster...that's all.

And if you train at night using Log IM is your best option...no one wants to die in their sleep.

Since it starts acting so much quicker, I'd assume in peaks and stops working quicker as well??

So guys IM is best? I was told to do this sub Q. Is IM best for muscle growth after training? Thats why I love this board, I'm always getting more educated on supplements everyday.

NO IM is best to quicken the time insulin starts circulating,, because IT HITS THE BLOOD FASTER... The point that was being made about IMing it at night was that if you IM it it will hit faster but it will be out of your system faster which is good if you have to go to bed soon after you workout... The method I talk about is geared more towards if someone works out in the morning...

Thanx for clarifying that for me

So if you workout at night and go to bed about 4-5 hours after your humilin r shot it would be best to IM the shot to let it clear faster.
