Stupid Slin Question

When someone says they are comsuing 100 grams of Glucose or Dextrose after slin, are they referring to simply sugars in general which could be in a bottle of juice or can of soda --orr--can you actually purchase pure Glocose or Dextrose somewhere ??

Thanks!
 
I usually follow the rule of 10g carbs for each unit of slin. I try to use a mix of simple and complex carbs. I posted a similar question about post w/o carbs and was recommended to use 2 packs of the instant oatmeal. I use the sugary maple and brown sugar kind (65g carbs both complex and simple) and have noted good results (with 7IU slin)
 
More than likely they are referring to the actual thing. You don't need to be that specific though. Like kdog says, 10g carbs for each unit of slin using both simple and complex carbs. Did that myself recently, and it worked great.
 
you can buy dextrose by itself. I get a 10lb tub for like $15 at supplementsdirect.com (I think thats the site).

most bros dont use dextrose..but I use it all year round in my post workout shakes and dont even use slin. Its easier to drink my carbs than eat them after a workout when I usually dont feel like eating.
 
I've used Malto\Dextrose 50\50 mix. I start with 10gr per IU and cut it back until I feel jittery and then add it back slowly until I find a balance. For me I can go 5gr per IU just before the shot of 10iu (50grams) and then a glass of OJ about one hour later. Generally I am okay after that, but always keep something around just in case. Always play it safe and go higher before you even think about cutting your sugar back mainly because you will die and I can think of better things to do. This is all based on shorter acting Slin, humalog to be specific.
