i'm using humalog so I guess i'll chime in...it's hard understanding what your post says, but it sounds like you're either doing 8iu x 4 times a day or 2iu x 4 to equal 8iu total. If you're doing 8iu x 4, that is way too much in such a short period of time.

Humalog peaks at 1-2 hours, and is usually completely done by hour 3-4, so if your experiencing insulin effects after 4 hours, you probably have humulin r. Either way, make sure your carrying around one of those needle pens, or some glucose tabs or candy so they if you start noticing something weird you have fast carbs ready.

hey dude! I only use once after training 8ui 2.10 pm but at 8.30 i had a hypo syntoms.. i know that humalog is activate for about 4 hours but in my case i had and hypo 6.30 hours after my shot so? what's the deal

oh ok i see what you mean now. I do 10iu humalog pwo, followed immediately by 50g protein, 25g dextrose, 25g maltodextrin. Then an hour later, eat a clean meal. Never had any of those symptoms. 8iu isn't that much, and it looks like you had plenty of carbs, so I doubt it's the humalog.

When I start insulin, I only do it for a month at a time + a month or more off. I start with 4iu on day 1, 5iu day 2, 6iu on day 3...until I reach 10iu per day. Some people are known to be more sensitive to insulin so I suggesting starting low and increasing daily until you find your sweet (safe) spot. I would never go above 10iu at once, it's too close to playing with death.
