So I ordered Humalog pens, and depending on my conclusions I am going to specify that I purchased the pens from Turkish Pharmacy Steroids. I messaged the vendor he was a complete and utter *sshole. I think he needs therapy. Anyway.
I have only up to this point used Novolin R insulin purchased from Wally World. Now, If I administer 5iu subq on an empty stomach, I can experience symptoms of hypoglycemia such as sweating, confusion, and a sugar craving that has made me do unspeakable things. This is reliably within 90 minutes of administration. Now, I picked up the pens of Humalog because I thought it was fast acting, but I have experimented with up to 20iu with no discernible effects. Now, this confuses me, and I am not accusing the source of selling bunk insulin. I am looking for an explanation, because my first instinct is to think that I'm missing something or that I am understanding the differences between the insulins incorrectly.
