I'm thinking about throwing insulin into my next cycle in a few months, but I don't think I know anywhere near enough about it to start using it yet.
Does anyone have any good links to read up on it?
I understand:
-keep simple sugars around(like coke/gatorade) in case you start going hypo
-Start with 1ui pwo and work your way up to where you feel comfortable.
-A 2:1:0 carb/prot/fat per ui is recommended
-do not inject 4 hours before sleep
-have simple carbs within 5-15 minutes after injection then a high protein/medium carb meal 1 hour after.
But,
1. What carb is most beneficial immediately after injection?(dextrose, waxy maize, maltodextrin, ect..)
2. Should the protein also be fast absorbing? Such as hydolyzed/isolate, or do only the carbs matter and you could use something like concentrate?
3. Does more food=more muscle in terms of food intake during the 4 hour time peroid? ex: instead of 10g of carbs and 5 g of protein per ui, you did 20 carbs and 15g of protein per ui. Or would that just make you fat?
4. Other than post workout, when is the other most beneficial time to use humalog? Upon waking?
5. I read that this can turn you into a diabetic. How does that happen? And how do you avoid it?
Just trying to learn as much as I can before I touch it
