I’m just looking for a discussion on bedtime bolus versus split dosing.
Feel free to elaborate in the comments.
Bedtime bolus is great for glucose and my favourite application over split dosing. Reasons are “some” fat loss (NOT optimal fat loss) and repair and recovery. When I’m taking larger doses (6iu+) it actually interferes with my sleep so I’m not going to add that one to my personal list of reasons. Also amazing for blood glucose levels and hardly any interference with insulin resistance during the day. Side note, for fat loss to be optimal you need very low insulin environment and there should have been some kind of muscle stimulation and lastly be in a deficit for some level of fat loss to occur otherwise you loosen up the fat molecules (lipolysis) but it doesn’t get oxidized and simply resettles.
Split dosing however. Apparently 2-3iu is the optimal fat loss dose and you can take it pre fasted cardio, pre training and even post training timed correctly to burn that fat more directly. Post training is debatable in my personal experience but bedtime should definitely be added for overnight repair. Many don’t use it for a cut cycle but that’s a whole other conversation. This method imo not great for insulin resistance.
What do you do and why?
If commenting please include which administration method you prefer and why and also the dosage used to get your best experiences.
