Even experienced insulin users sometimes get a scare

[iced]

Ive ran numerous insulin cycles, and today was my first day back to work out in 3 days after the stomach flu. I figured a little slin should help me absorb the shake, because ive had mild diarhea all week. Well, i guess the diarehea really depleted me, because i was lying on my bed, sweating like a hooker in church on Sunday, trying to figure out why i was feeling hypo, i just drank 1/2 of an Extreme XXl shake, which half has over 100g of carbs, i can usually get by with 60-70g of carbs, but im bulking right now. I stumbled to the fridge, and took about 4 spoonfuls of strawberry jam, no cokes in the house (living a BBer lifestyle almost backfired) Then i lied down on the kitchen floor for about 5 minutes still sweating, and eventually the symptoms went away. Not trying to scare ya, but no way in hell would i have been able to drive my shaky, comfused sweating ass to the gas station for some sugar. I have cycled insulin on and off for almost a year, and this is the most scared ive ever been, most hypo i have ever been. Moral of the story, even when u think u know what ur doing, there can always be a suprise with something like slin.

Damn bro! Be careful. When I experimented with slin last year. I bought 5 lbs of maltodextrin to have on hand in case of hypo. I always had a coke in the glove compartment of my car,too.With slin you never can tell.

Glad to hear you are okay Bro.

Slin is definately nothing to fuck around with. One fuckup can kill you.

every time when you start slin again from a lay off you should start low then cont to climb back up. Glad you were in the kitchen and not out there. Stay safe.

odd thing was, i was 3 weeks into a 5 week cycle, last time i did slin was monday, tuesday thru thursday i was sick, and i figured i could pick up where i left off. I guess i was just deprived of nutrients, i did lost 5lbs in three days.
