Humalog vs. Humulin-R

[big in vegas]

Which do you all prefer? I know that Humulin is longer lasting (roughly 4 hours from what I've seen), but which do you guys prefer. Of course this is for the ones that have used slin in the first place

never used Humalog but if i could have , i would have used it over the longer Humalin r

After getting the hang of Humalin R, I wouldn't even try Humalog. Humalin R will hit you hard enough and fast enough and you'll still struggle to get the carbs and sugars in along with protein. I think Humalog would be too fast and too much of a hit for most. I do my Humalin R intramuscular so it hits faster.

I've done both and both work very well. I get humalog every month now. That is what I will use this year. But in years past Humalin R was my choice. It works very fast and last pretty long in the body (4-6 hrs) I do like humalog as its fast acting and out of your body in a couple hrs. So you would have to pin it more often threwout the day. so that is a prob for some people...I guess just depends on what you do for a living and if you can pin more often...

I guess another factor could be that peace of mind using Humalog you know if you've made it past the first 2 and a half hours then you're good, but that's just my two cents. I've never used it so it all seems like a lot to handle and a lot of dedication to a disciplined lifestyle

I use Novolog which is interchangable with Humalog. I use it 20 minutes pre-wo. Take carbs pre-wo and have a shake with all the goodies in it and sip as you go. Its awesome if you play with the dose and get it right.

Exactly! and thats what makes it a much better choice for most people and especialy for new comers to slin! Plus most people love the faster onset of it!

I'd have to use the Humalog otherwise I'd have an anxiety attack wondering if I screwed something up
