Are you supposed to be tired on insulin?

[crazymike1213]

I used to take insulin while ago, and as i remember I was tired eveyday I used it.
But now Im back on one, and I dont feel fatigue at all.
Am I supposed to feel tired after insulin? or can it be managed with properly timed diet?
Im kinda nervous I might have insulin resistance

I only inject on WO days
8iu straight after workout, 67g dextrose 75g whey isolate, a scoop of BCAA, 10g creatine, 10g glutamine , within 5 minutes after the pin
an hour later, a meal consists of 70g complex carb, 50g lean protein source
2.5 hours after the pin, another meal similar to the first meal.

Once your blood sugar is regulated properly, symptoms such as fatigue should go away. If this is your first time taking insulin, it might take some time to adjust. Check your blood sugar levels.
