slin 70/30

anyone ever use the 70/30 mix? i've used novolin r in the past.

i understand the mix...short and long acting.

just want to know thoughts...likes, dislikes. eating habits. doses. anything.

thanks, trauma

I personally wouldn't do it, but that just me.

I wouldn't. I'll stick with humilog. It's easier to predict when it will spike in your system.

I think it is a matter of preference, really. I prefer humulin R
(or novolin R) as I see it as more predictable than log but that is just me as I have used humulin exclusively for quite a while now.

I have used 70/30 and N but didn't like either one. When I say I didn't like them, I mean that I wasn't mentally comfortable with the slin being in my system for so long. Would it work well? Maybe, but I won't be using a long acting slin like that.

Just my opinion......

I preffer Humulin-R over Homolog or any other, i feel humolog is to fast acting and will not give a full benifit as humulin-R would...kisks in within 15min peaks at 2 hours and hangs around for about 6 hours total...i like to time mine that it peaks about 15 minutes after training...but that can be tricky as you need to bring some carbs with you while training, i bring Crea-Fuse...10gm of creatine & Simple sugar mix...any kind of that sort of a drink will do...Good luck...XXL
