Default Re: Insulin FAQ

The potential of hypo is very real. I began low dosages, 2iu, and have worked my way up to about 5iu. I also started with a very high carb intake but gradually backed off untill I hit the sweet spot. somthing like a protein shake w. glutamine right away along with 30g complex carbs. another protein shake after about1.5 hours. I actually don't seem to need that many carbs, about 60-80 g from sugar candy. After it is mostly worn off ~4h I have a medium sized balanced meal with some fat since the insulin is no longer storing (at least it is mostly worn of).

What do you guys think about this. Basically I have been taking up plenty of protein and calories, just limited carb intake (carefully determined) and no fat durring the window after injection. I have been on for 2 weeks and have noticed good gains in strength and minimal fat retention (which is my goal).
Is it necessary to eat more durring the window?

thought I'd share and get an opinions
