I found this site a couple of days ago and have being reading a lot of the threads. I have found some great discussion going on here, so I thought I would share my slin experiment with you.
This was my first time with slin, so I took BGL readings every so often to see what was going on.
I used 10 iu of Humalog post workout and took my post workout shake at the same time(70g dextrose and 35 g whey).
my base line BGL before insulin was 74
Time BGL
12min 126
20min 106
30min 85
40min 126
50min 90
60min 74
70min 63
80min 58
90min 50
100min 41
at this point I ate my dinner(200g chicken, medium potato + broccoli)
120min 61
I would like to hear peoples ideas of what is happening here. I think that the humalog did not have major effect until after 40 minutes, and that in the first 30 minutes it was my natural insulin doing the job. Even though I let my BGL drop pretty low, I felt no sides coming on at all. I will have to experiment some more to fine tune my carb amounts and timing.
