yes I have read about the non-diabetics using insulin to help with muscle growth. I am not necessarily looking for a short cut (althought that would be great) but to be efficient with the taking of insulin. I have to take it anyways why not make it as efficient as possible? I do take a protein shake after lifting with a small amount of carb. Also, I have taken half a recovery type drink (protein and Carb) before with a little insulin. Since my lifting takes about 40 min it should be working at the time I am entering the recovery stage. After lifting I take the rest. I find it works pretty well and my sugars are stable. I do a BG test half way through my workout and adjust slightly for different types of training. For example I take less insulin when doing legs and more when doing arms/abs. Those legs just suck up the sugar in the blood stream.
