After months of research decided to introduce Humalog-R into the mix. Currently taking 400Mg Deca and 600Mg test, 3iu Norditropin, 9iu slin. HGH and Slin are only used on training days, post workout. I am 44yrs old, 6’3, 240lbs, 13%bf. Training for 30yrs.
I am having an issue with BGL dripping down to 50mg/dl around the 2hr mark post slin. I started using only 5iu and slowly worked my way up depending on how well my body accepted the slin. I am very careful and use a BGL meter and test at specific intervals and recoded my levels. Based on several readings from respectable users, I switched from Vitargo to straight Dextrose from Now Sports. I’ve also slowly dropped the ratio of carbs to iu’s down to 7g or carbs per iu.
Now this is where I need feedback form advanced users of Humalog. The amount of carbs needed to cover the iu’s used (with me) seems more important at the 2hour mark vs initially. Everything that I’ve read seems to push the Waxy Maze, Vitargo, Dextrose initially and just talks about low fat food after. Since Humalog starts 10-15min, peaks 1.5-2.5hrs and done at 4.5-6hrs. (For me, peak is 2hrs and done in 4hr.) im asking what do YOU consume during the active life of Humalog ? I initially have (70g carbs of dextrose/50g whey isolate/7g creatine/5g glutamine. 1hr later, 9oz sweet potatoes (50g carbs) 8.5oz chicken. 1hr after that (2hrs post slin) I have 1.3c brown rice (50g carbs) 8.5oz chicken. I have also made a chart that indicates BGL at intervals post slin and when meals were consumed. Should I be consuming upwards around 70-80g of carbs for the two food meals ?
I cover the initial spike of slin no problem, it’s the peak that I can’t get covered. I have OJ and Glucose Tabs on hand but trying to rely on clean food. I am being overly cautious of putting on fat. From what I have read it’s the initial PWO drink that is so important and needs to be adequate to cover the amount of slin used. From the chart I have made below, it would seem that it’s the peak of Humalog that needs to be covered with the right amount of carbs, not so much the initial.
If anyone can share their experiences and food consumed at what intervals, it would be greatly appreciated.
