Beast - how far ahead of meals are you taking Defuse and Slintensity? Does timing matter much? Are there any side effects from Slintensity? Back in the day I tried Need2Slin and based on my timing and how much I ate with it I would usually get a really funky mental feeling.
Defuse is recommended at half an hour out, I believe. Slintensity should be 15-20 minutes out.
To be honest, I've been using both at 30 minutes out and that has been working very well for me.
It's rare for me to go hypo and I think only a few times over the years have I felt it very subtly come on after waiting too long to eat once dosing a GDA product.
Now interestingly enough, I did manage to go hypo really bad one night about 2 weeks ago. I lifted after work and had a course for fire training immediately after and I was sitting there thinking it felt hot (which it was; they turned the heat on in the station), but I couldn't stop sweating behind the backs of my knees and I just couldn't figure it out. Ended up putting 2 and 2 together after a while and realized all I'd eaten that whole day was protein; nothing but protein. And even though my lift didn't feel that intense, it was enough to get me pretty bad hypo. A friend had a granola bar and pack of fruit snacks in his truck and after eating those, almost instantly I was better.
That wasn't with dosing any of these products; but just to illustrate that I've had bad hypo hit me twice in my life (the other setting was during an insulin tolerance test at a university hospital when checking for GH deficiency when they managed to drop my glucose to 13 and luckily I didn't die).
I haven't even got a fraction to feeling like that from these, but on rare occasions I can feel what is probably that starting up if I dose and then get caught up with something and hit like 45 minutes before eating, for example.
The combo of Defuse and ST (and extra NaRALA) before huge meals -- e.g. exactly what my protocol will be for Thanksgiving -- has been amazing. I don't do this often at all, but in limiting the usage, it really helps to curb any damage and weight gain.
