I searched and turned 1 old 2005 thread on this....
Humalin R.
Is it worth using in same cycle as Test at low dose, maybe 3 days a week on "hard" lifting days?
I understand it takes longer to peak, not as high, etc.
But i was thinking this is safe enough to use for the first go round of this type of substance.
First off sometimes it is better to do a google search w/ anabolicminds domain rather than a basic board search.

I always began to feel Hum-r about 30 minutes after injection and the peak around the 2hr. mark...so I took in an initial shake right before injection, then a meal at the 2 hour mark and another meal at about the 3.5 hr mark. The injection is always IM because it is more predictable....
I have used doses from 2 to 10iu and I took blood sugar readings w/ glucometer. With the above protocol I felt it was out of my system before the 5 hour mark and I was safe to go to bed. I just made sure not to use a glucose disposal agent at bed time and also had a little food in my stomach.
Humalog IMHO can be riskier because the intial peak seems to come quicker and harder then the Hum-r peak. Also people make the mistake of trying to time their initial shake (carbs)...make sure to consume the shake BEFORE the injection...that way there are no mistakes...no accidental delays...etc.
BUY a GLUCOMETER and take frequent readings at 2ius to develop a blood sugar chart for your body & nutrient intake. Keep the nutrient timing identical and take more readings when you up the dose to 4ius...continue this until you reach the level you want. Keep in mind 8ius may be more comfortable & even a better option then 10ius.
Always keep a pack of glucose tablets in your pocket during the entire time the slin is active.
For most of us insulin administration is not something that is going to do us a lot of good as far as building lean tissue...even combined w/ testosterone...there really is no magic to it.
In fact I don't use it much to build lean tissue. If I have no IGF-1 around during PCT I'll use it to stimulate FSH a bit.
But IF you are going to use it make sure you are already lean before you start...
