[@decabeatzHealthWellness]

Time to broaden my skills so I can be a better coach to my clients. Great episode guys.

[@Beef1121]

This podcast and this episode in particular has convinced me I want you as my next coach!

[@josephkoerner4856]

Thank God there is educational content like this.

[@gujjubodybuilderofficial]

1. What is difference between igh and igf ? 2. We can see in the market lots of different kind of insulin available so how to choose perfect one??

[@jessen00001]

My insulin protocol: Exactly as a type 1 diabetic. If you do this you have done a glucose tolerance test and so on, and you are monitoring your glucose levels through the day !

[@decabeatzHealthWellness]

Have you tried a CGM yet? It's always good to know what foods do what to your blood sugar

[@marcusearnshaw1816]

This is incredible

[@jessen00001]

Great video 💪 Thanks 👍

Hi John and Luke, was using insulin, 160g of carbs(50pro/10f) meal 1h before injection. 1h after a meal and 45min before training 5 ui Novorapid. 15min after injection 20g Carb+10g EAA Shake+ 30g Carb+10 EAA intra. Post workout before my meal another 5ui insulin,(4pm) with 200g of carbs (50pro/0fat) 100c simple sugar carbs , 100g cereal+100g bananna and 100c complex- 100g jasmine rice+25g COR. 1:45-2h after that I had 120carb (50pro/10fat) meal(6pm). Before the meal blood glucose was 79mg/dl . 1:30h after the meal before my final 6th(8pm) meal my blood glucose was 70mg/dl. Had 50g carb (50pro/10fat) meal and 2h after (10pm) my blood sugar finally stopped dropping and was around 80-90. Would you say that the 5ui pre and post stacked up and started dropping my BG drastically?

[@johnjewett7970]

the pre and post insulin very well could be overlapping and further lowering blood glucose. This is a bit in depth to fully assess in a question on here. Remember eat for your needs and don't just throw more food around training to feed the insulin usage.

[@przepi9355]

@@johnjewett7970 I understand Thank you John, those were my carbs on a usual day and diecided to try insulin post workout aswell. Didin't try to feed the insulin as I would've eaten that amount regardless haha.

[@decabeatzHealthWellness]

The pre/post is overlapping for sure.i would lower it too 4 Iu post/pre. Cause you dont wanna get into the habit of eating more to combat the insulin. It should be the other way around. Take the right amount of insulin for the food you are eating for good blood sugar reading.

[@damienbillingsley4359]

For some reason i cant take insulin, as little as 10ius of lantus will make me go hypo. I get hypo episodes even when not taking insulin usually 1hr after eating

[@paulnever6501]

Hey, could you tell us more about glucose monitoring? What ranges should we aim for etc

[@Dejwik]

👏👏👏

[@stevenconigliaro3879]

I’ve done keto for a few years continually and the times I do have carbs my blood glucose stays elevated for a long time and also my fasting blood glucose upon waking is like 105 should I try to eat more carbs like maybe every 3rd day? To help with my “keto” insulin resistant I do keto because I feel the best cognitively

[@adamrochester1]

Does this go for classic bodybuilders to John ? Or would you say classic no need to worry about Gh and Slin

[@johnjewett7970]

This goes for all divisions even female.

[@adamrochester1]

@@johnjewett7970 how far out of contest prep would you stop if carbs got below 200? Or 150?

[@johnjewett7970]

@@adamrochester1 I would not run slin on prep

[@jimmykim3926]

What insulin is recommended for someone who has 5.6 h1Ac, I don't want to become pre-diabetic (is Lantus good)

[@decabeatzHealthWellness]

It depends on your goals really. Take only on training days. Lantus is a basal insulin. It gives you 24 hour coverage. It's a long lasting slow releasing insulin. Dosage depends on your weight and insulin sensitivity and average blood sugar. For ppl with type 2 diabetes its 0.1units to 0.2units per kg/bodyweight. Always start with lowest dose and reassess. That's all without knowing more about you.

🔥🔥🔥 awesome video

[@noelhoward2032]

I have a question, Great pod cast btw,I was wonder if I wanted to get on a low carb diet to get more cut, would it be wise not to add fats in my diet,its a carb cycling diet btw

[@noelhoward2032]

I'll be using lantus

[@n7pako367]

Why insulin doesn't make them fat?

such bro-science and misinformation. Thought he was supposed to be some kind of "expert". He just spews out the same old lies and anecdotes that you find everywhere else who are uninformed
