Novolin r questions

[Dianabolman]

So I've been taking novolin r lately, 4 on 4 off. I start at 2-4units work my way up to 10. Now I believe in gaining off of it some what the only thing is is When I'm feeling real dangerous I don't eat when I'm supposed to just to when it peaks and 45 to an hour after it was supposed to peak I'm am still feeling fine, and I pin in the morning and either pre or post workout, anyone else have any experience like this? Thanks

i dont understand the question bro,

okay my bad, my question is why the hell am I not getting any signs of hypo, with the lack of hypo signs with the novolin I fear that I am not making any gains, am I doing something incorrect?

Novolin R can stay in the blood stream for up to 12 hours. It doesn't hit fast and hard enough for bodybuilding purposes. Humalog and Humalin R are the only insulin suitable for your purposes... you really need to do more research man...

sure thing man, I have done a lot of research on it and several people have said that it's helped them even some personal friends, but I've been considering humalog and don't worry I will research to make sure I'm on top of everything, thanks for the advice brother

Have you done IGF yet??? It's probably 10x as effective as insulin and totally safe... insulin will put fat on you no matter how good you are with it... it will create new fat cells that you will battle for the rest of your life.
Given your age and experience I would do something simple like 400mg of test C 400mg of Deca per week. Next up in affordability will be IGF. I would NEVER recommend any other IGF other than that of MC. I know alot of people in this industry and there is alot of garbage. I would start at 50mcg daily. Once you've gotten the hang of that you would want to get pharmaceutical GH under your belt.. 6-8 iu daily... once you are on all of that...THEN you can handle the fat building effects of insulin due to the fat burning properties of GH... that's how it's done... in that order... you don't do insulin without pharm grade GH... and you really shouldn't be messing with that stuff until you're 280 plus...
To compete nationally at your height you'll need to be a very hard 350-360 in the off season... look around at some of the members here... look what kind of shape they are in and what they take...

Great advice I know, I am still a kid though to a point I am very aware that you shouldn't even touch insulin until you hit that barrier of not growing anymore, anyways I have igf on my mind but I can't seem to find a straight answer as to how well it bulks, my next cycle I posted in my previous thread I'm doing 810mg of sust per week 3x/week and 500mg of npp per week, is that a good cycle? 10 weeks is how long I'm thinking of stopping the npp at 8 or 9 and continuing the test for a couple more so I'm not so shut down, but I plan on running black tops, hgh, 6iu first thing in the morning when I hit around 250-270 not sure yet, I have all my future cycles planned out for the next year and a half, I'm trying to take an aggressive approach to get to 300 by at least March of next year, I'm going to be taking the safest route and getting blood test down 3-4 times a year but I won't touch insulin again until I get up there, thanks for he advice

i used insulin once, wasnt strict with diet, and well you know how that went, never again!

okay my bad, my question is why the hell am I not getting any signs of hypo, with the lack of hypo signs with the novolin I fear that I am not making any gains, am I doing something incorrect?

Why are you trying to see if you get hypo? How do you know you aren't without a glucose meter? Insulin is pretty dangerous to be messing around with it like that. It's definitely working, but to know for sure how it is affecting you, get a glucose monitor to see what is happening, test your blood every 30 min. You cannot, and I stress you **CANNOT** go by the feeling.

Novolin R is actually a fast-acting insulin (although not as fast as humalog/novolog), and it will start working in about 30 minutes and last from 4-12 hours.


From Drugs.com:

Treating diabetes mellitus.
Novolin R is a fast-acting form of the hormone insulin. It works by helping your body to use sugar properly. This lowers the amount of glucose in the blood, which helps to treat diabetes.
[h=2]Do NOT use Novolin R if:[/h]

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Novolin R
• you are having an episode of low blood sugar

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Novolin R. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

• Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), clonidine, guanethidine, lithium, or reserpine because they may increase the risk of high or low blood sugar or may hide the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar, if it occurs
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, enalapril), disopyramide, fenfluramine, fibrates (eg, clofibrate, gemfibrozil), fluoxetine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) (eg, phenelzine), oral medicines for diabetes (eg, glipizide, metformin, nateglinide), pentamidine, pramlintide, propoxyphene, salicylates (eg, aspirin), somatostatin analogs (eg, octreotide), or sulfonamide antibiotics (eg, sulfamethoxazole) because the risk of low blood sugar may be increased
• Thiazolidinediones (eg, pioglitazone, rosiglitazone) because the risk of heart failure may be increased
• Atypical antipsychotics (eg, olanzapine), corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), danazol, diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide), estrogen, hormonal contraceptives (eg, birth control pills), isoniazid, niacin, phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine), progesterones (eg, medroxyprogesterone), somatropin, sympathomimetics (eg, albuterol, epinephrine, terbutaline), or thyroid hormones (eg, levothyroxine) because they may decrease Novolin R's effectiveness, resulting in high blood sugar

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Novolin R may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


[h=2]How to use Novolin R:[/h]Use Novolin R as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

• An extra patient leaflet is available with Novolin R. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.
• Use Novolin R within 30 minutes before a meal, as directed by your doctor.
• If you will be using Novolin R at home, a health care provider will teach you how to use it. Be sure you understand how to use Novolin R. Follow the procedures you are taught when you use a dose. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions.
• Certain brands of Novolin R should not be used in an insulin pump unless your doctor tells you otherwise. If you will be using an insulin pump, check with your doctor or pharmacist to see if your brand may be used in a pump.
• If you are using an insulin pump, do NOT dilute Novolin R or mix it with any other type of insulin.
• If you are using Novolin R in an insulin pump, be sure you know how to use it. Follow what your doctor has told you or read the package insert. Change the medicine and parts of the pump when you have been told.
• Novolin R should be clear and colorless. Do not use Novolin R if it contains particles; is cloudy, thickened, or discolored; or if the vial is cracked or damaged.

• If you are mixing Novolin R with another insulin, draw Novolin R into the syringe first. Inject the dose immediately after mixing, as directed by your doctor.
• Use the proper technique taught to you by your doctor. Inject deep under the skin, NOT into muscle or a vein.
• Injection sites within an injection area (eg, abdomen, buttocks, thigh, upper arm) must be rotated from one injection to the next.
• Do not draw into a syringe and store for future use.
• Be sure you have purchased the correct insulin. Insulin comes in a variety of containers, including vials, cartridges, and pens. Make sure that you understand how to properly measure and prepare your dose. If you have any questions about measuring and preparing your dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for information.
• Novolin R begins lowering blood sugar within 30 minutes after an injection. The effect usually lasts from 4 to 12 hours.
• Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and away from pets. Do not reuse or share needles, syringes, or other materials. Ask your health care provider how to dispose of these materials after use. Follow all local rules for disposal.
• It is very important to follow your insulin regimen exactly. Do NOT miss any doses. Ask your doctor for specific instructions to follow in case you ever miss a dose of insulin.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Novolin R.

You've got to look long term. AAS are just the basics... not really what is going to build a top physique. Save your money on the AAS. 400-500mg of test and maybe some Deca. You see all these guys talking about the perfect cyle and crap like that. It's like bench racing between guys that don't own cars. Add 50-100mcg of IGF daily and 3lbs of lean meat per day. You will grow. Get on as much good GH as you can afford, but GH is hit or miss... most is bunk. MC IGF is always good, its always top quality, and it helps you grow and make the changes in your physique that AAS can not. Don't get caught up on NPP, Tren, and all that if your goal is to grow into a competitor. You need to hire a top trainer if you actually want to pursue this. Most of these guys were top national competitors at 25... some of them were already Pro.
