Insulin Ramp Up

[Cmsmallzz]

Just curious if most slin users ramp up slowly even after their first time using insulin or do you dive in at intended dose? My first time I started at 4iu's and increased 1iu each consecutive post workout shot. This next time I was thinking of starting a little higher but wasn't sure if it was a safe idea. I thought maybe start at 6iu's and ramp up 2iu's at a time until I get to 10. Using humalog this time.

do what you feel safe with bro,ive done slin quite a few time and feel very comfortable with it and my reactions to it. now i whenever i start i go with 10iu's,

bottom line if you dont feel comfortable or safe starting at a higher dose then dont do it just ramp up

Thanks for the response Bro...Yeah I definately feel comfortable using the slin but I think I'll always be very cautious with it...I guess which is a good thing.

after my 4 week layoff i go straight to the dose i was using 10 ius post workout --

i recommend ramping up for newbies to see what your reaction is to the slin--everyone is different-
