Hey guys, getting all the info set up before I try slin for the first time. I am going to take it pwo on workout days only, some days I work out in the evening if I can't make it earlier. Just curious if say I get out of work at five, get to the gym by 5:30, finish working out at 6:15 and take my slin right then, following standard eating practices, how long should I wait before going to bed? Obviously don't want to go hypo while sleeping!

Thanks bro's,

humalog last 4 hours in the blood stream , therefore you can go to bed at 10.15pm

Ok, just found a chart on different types of slin, it shows that humalog and novolog have the same onset and active life times, the difference in peak is huge though. Looks like humalog peaks from 30-90 minutes after injection, novolog is 40-50. Would you know if that means that the peak is more consistant, or that it is shorter lasting, with novolog? And would I change my eating protocol or still follow the same as humalog?

Thanks,
