Huskie, orange juice and a banana. It has happened to me, but it really shouldn't happen. Be cautious and conservative when filling the insulin pin. If your new to it, start at 20 and increase from there, no one says you cant. Listen to your body, and learn from it. Best of luck.

Any carbs will do, bro. Btw, not everyone gets this, and most who do only mildly so.

The ones of us like me who do get it are suspect to going hypo anyway. I usually get that way after a workout anyway and if I don't drink or take in some simple carbs its an issues. Many guys who dont have this problem run three times my dose and never have sides. I just want people to be safe and you need the carbs anyway so make sure you get them so it is never a prob.

ok bros so ill befine aslong as i take in alot of carbs before and after injections. thats a plus for me ....lol (love the carbs):thumbsup:
I'm hypoglycemic anyway, but I rarely experience it since I eat every 2 hours or so and once or twice a night. The IGF just put me there when I wasn't expecting it. Its not really something for most to have serious concerns over. I always carry powdered gatorade.

I would agree being hypoglycemic myself, but in having carbs before his dose of IGF, he can take just about anything.

I agree with Saud. I always did mine pwo so I was taking carbs anyway. I would always get my blood sugar up to the 160 range after a workout anyway (I used a glucose meter alot to see what was going on) and my bloodsugar would drop some but nowhere near hypo range. Like I said I am hypoglycemic somewhat anyway and as long as i did the carbs before the application I was good to go.

I always keep fruit around
When I'm using IGF.....
Apples, peaches, or bananas. They're handy in a pinch.
Yesterday I applied IGF for the 1st time in about 8 weeks (60 mcg sub q, at 6 A.M.)and I didn't go hypo, but was flat-out exhausted
from like 12 o'clock on. I'm gonna apply every other day, so I didn't apply today, and voila.....no sleepy head for me.

Slightly off topic--I would love to get my blood sugar up to 160! I don't think I've ever been over 110 in all the times I have measured after eating. Got a nice 50 this morning.
