Yes you can,well some States my boy in OK cannot ,but for the most part you can

TweetIf I'm not mistaken MOST, not all but most places require a script for humalog due to how fast acting it is. Therefor u can only get humAlog r and the slower acting ones OTC. But if you live in a state or country where you don't need a script just say u need humalog. If they ask say ur diabetic. I'm pretty sure by law they can't question you on that subject so there really isn't more to be said.

TweetI like that table, Dirtwarrior...i saw something similar a while back...the reason I choose humalog is because the peak is only 30-90 min but the humulin R is more like up to 5 hours...Which means, you have to keep carbs handy all 5 hours...i would rather take it, take my carbs, then eat my meal and forget about it so to speak lol...I did a lot of research on insulin before using it though, a lot

TweetNow all I gotta do is find which insulin is available in KY without a script

TweetCall a random cvs or something and ask

Tweet^^^^^ well stated actually! Sometimes the simplest route is the best....Make sure you say "I am a type 1 Diabetic" because then you sound like you know what you are talking about lol...I just read some more on the MANY different forms, as shown in that table above from dirtwarrior...the 70/30 seems interesting but the quickest acting should be the way to go...I do know ppl that like humulin R because it is the next quickest but if you can, stick with humalog...there are places where it can be obtained

Tweet^^^^^^I agree with mikeyg51, use Humalog first, I use humulin-r out of confidence and I pay only 24.99$ a bottle otc in nys. the shorter acting the better. its unreal how big you can get on slin wow. its like night and day.

TweetClem, you are 100% correct! The pumps I get, the fullness, the weight gain, it all rocks....

I just started Humalog the other day....I do 5iu preworkout and 10iu post...I may adjust that post dose in the future but I slam down some powdered BCAA's after each shot with my carbs...I tried just using powdered sugar because I didn't yet have the pure dextrose powder and that was a mistake...I thought it would counteract the hypo but it did not! and THAT is why this compound is not for everybody...The pump after the 5iu administration was intense...My boys were even noticing more muscle fullness...I will keep everyone updated on how its going!

Tweetstop making me want it more -_- lmao. im going to run it in my next bulk probably in about a year or so.

It's been years for me too...hhhmmmm maybe !!!

TweetI'm gin a be throwing some slin in here in about 3 weeks. Been priming my body for growth and slowly working my carbs up to where my body can handle that many carbs without getting fat. Now lets see the gains come.

TweetHow many grams of carbs and protein do u all use post wo with Slin?

TweetI use approx 5-7grams of carbs per iu of slin this time around...so, I pinned 10iu pwo humalog and immediately downed about 60-70grams of dextrose powder with Cellucor's amino powder....I then drink about 40-50grams of protein in a shake...then eat about 45 min later...and keep eating clean lol...
