Isn't very much even in a slin pin.

Walmart refused to sell me a vial of humalog today claiming prescription only in Manitoba.

London Drugs no questions asked, quick and polite.

I got to try out my new scale with the dextrose today.

6 grams per iu to the nearest 1/100th of a gram and a nice big shake followed by another meal an hour later.

I found myself feeling a little nappy but no hypo symptoms whatsoever.

I've done my research. Nonetheless it is fairly amazing how powerful a hormone insulin is.

Will be working up to 10iu's pwo. I'm finding that when using a 100 iu slin pin metering out individual iu's is fairly finicky.

Yes 5iu on a 1ml slin pin is a very minute amount... how did you feel on the 6g of carbs per iu?? Any signs of hypo?? For me, i needed to go 8 grams per iu (started out with 10g and slowly went down to 8g) but everyone is different....as long as you have some glucose tabs, Gatorade or candy on hand, you should be ok until you assess your insulin sensitivity and adjust your carbs...

No overt symptoms of hypo a 5iu's and 6grams dextrose/iu although I was a little nappy (less alert).

I will try 6&6 tomorrow and see how it goes. I have a glucometer that I could use to make this more scientific but I'm pretty familiar with hypoglycemia and its symptoms in my body. I wouldn't be surprised to go up to 8 grams/iu but I don't want to throw too much sugar on the fire.

i take 10iu pwo, and then 50g dextrose.

5g/iu

I am fine as long as I do not forget to take whey 10 minutes later, then eat. I once got sidetracked and didnt eat... ftw I was shoving carbs in my mouth like crazy. I have some glucose spray for such cases too.

Bottom line if you need to ask questions about insulin use your not ready for it.Some kid usin a bit of test and who knows what does he really need insulin use?GH users need insuiln indeed,but weekend juice users I think not!Watch how even small amounts of calories with bad timming results in nothing but a gut!Sure maybe a bit of added recovery and ya a bit of a pump effect but I get that steriods.

I am certain when you took your first insulin jab, you weren't the expert you are today
