Who has used insulin to carb load?

Really just looking for anecdotal experiences......

I have no first hand experience. But I have talked to some people who have done it and they either loved it or hated it.. The people who loved it were the people who could eat less carbs and handle the slin well, the people who hated it were the people who have to eat alot of carbs when taking slin. They said it made them go smooth, probably simply because they had to overeat on there carb load.

If I were ever going to use slin during my carbload I would definately do a couple practice runs prior to the actual competition.

Were they using diuretics? Obviously a practice run is crucial for timing....slin makes me hold water for about a day....but I imagine Aldactone and lasix could rectify that if needed...I keep full for a out 3 days when using humilin and generay need only 4 or 5 grams of carbs per iu

Yeah, they either used dyazide or lasix.. You saying you only need 4 or 5g carb per iu is about what my buddy who has used it to carb up needs and he loves it. He uses lasix as his diuretic of choice.

I would like to hear some of the more experienced guys chime in on this though.
