Ok, this is a little off topic, but here goes.
I'm using humulin-r on sunday, after my carb up, to go into ketosis quickly.
I take 3 units with NO CARBS, and then 2 hours later I'm a little hypo (I'm a freak, so I actually kinda like it). I do this at 10, at 4, and at 8. Eat only protein, no fat and no carbs. I sleep at midnight and wake up monday morning way into ketosis, I then lose fat all week till I carb on fri night. By friday morning my fasting glucose level is 55, very low.
I have also done several experiments with slin and different types of carbs. I have learned a lot about slin. And gained a lot of confidence.
The thing that's basically missing from most of the plans above is the carb schedule. LA is doing 75 grams sugar, which peaks in an hour (I have measured this personally), and then doing 40g more of very fast carbs. Hostile does 100g of some type of carbs (fast or slow?), and then more after an hour, and more at 2 hours. When does his slin peak? Does the carb intake schedule really match?
To answer these questions, and design a truly excellent slin program, you should look up the 'glycemic index' of the carbs you're running, and also take them without slin and measure your blood sugar levels to verify the release rates. Then match this with the profile of the 'slin you're using (example: R type peaks in 2 hours, and I don't mean 100 minutes, it's almost exactly 120 minutes, I've measured it)
Glucose meters are NO LONGER EXPENSIVE. You can get an 'accu-check active' at many drugstores for $20, you have to get test strips and they're $25. There are specials on some websites where the meter is FREE when you buy 100 test strips for $46.
I can't really see any excuse for not using a meter. The idea that "I didn't feel any hypo, so I must be ok" doesn't really cut it (imho). You really should measure your blood sugar and be 100% sure that your post-insulin meal schedule is safe and effective. The main drawback is that you have to poke holes in your fingers (one day I had 2 holes in every finger on my left hand) but we're supposed to be used to that sort of thing
