[QUOTE="Riesenburg, post: 418455, member: 41402"] Oh a topic right up my street :) Havent' tried the USN one yet, I use Reflex Natural Whey. It has 1.1g of carbs per serving (and no artifical **** in it, such as sweeteners... plus tastes perfectly nice in the chocolate version). Can also take without disrupting the sugars, although if you are going to take large quantities you might need 1 unit to cover it. The way I do it is post workout (I do weight lifting at the gym), I have 60g of protein and 1-2 units of humalog. Does the trick to boot insulin carries all the protein right to the muscle cells so you put on lean muscle. Side effects so far none, and I've been on it for over 2yrs with constant monitoring of all the usual diabetic bloods and hormonal ones too. The only thing I have had is with high doses like shakes of 50g or more you can get an upset stomach and diarrhea, if you are going to go that high build it up over time. Unless you are building your body that's no use to go above 20-30g. [/QUOTE]
