insulin dose-3/10 cc needle

[Dirk]

Can anybody help me with a round about dose of slin after a workout??Im 205lbs and i have 3/10 cc insulin pins. I down like 100g carbs of sugars/carbs/dextrose after a workout with creatine then do a 70 g protein shake.Im using 10 units in the needle should i be using more ??It doesnt seem like a lot of insulin considering its 3/10 a ccneedle

that is fine....i wouldnt do any more than that. when i use slin i do 10iu's of slow acting (humalin) in the begining of the day and then 10iu's humalog directly after training. i only use it on carb load days.

Start off slow, slin is very dangerous if you don't know your body. Start with 4iu and work your way up to 10. Stick with humalog, as its out of your system quickly (4-6 hours). Humalog has two peaks ~15 min after injections and ~1.5hours after injection. Make sure you consume carbs at both points. If you start feeling light-headed, dizzy, anxious, or irritable, these are early signs of hypo and you must take in some quick carbs like dextrose.
