weight gainers while doing slin

ad

The weight gainer I have has the following per serving

Sugars: 21grams
carbs: 220grams
calories: 1240
fat: 3 grams.

If one was taking insulin ranging from 5ius to 10ius, would all this extra carbs and such cause me to get fat? Also I usually take in 10grams of dextrose per iu of slin.
If I need 10grams simple carbs per iu, I'm guessing a weight gainer would be a bad idea,or maybe should not be used near/after my slin time. Right? Wrong?

what insulin protocol are you using mate?

And what type of insulin (rapid or 24 hour?)

humalog, I don't think id do other types

Humalog clears pretty fast...

And are you just doing it post workout?
If so youl be fine mate, just remember to start very low (1-2iu), then increase by 1iu each workout.
Make 8-10iu your highest dose too

Oh ive already used slin so i know what to do and will take every precaution. People laugh at me for always walking around with high carb bars and sugary shit, but id rather be safe. I'm doing post work out, and Its doubtful id ever ever go beyond ten ius (you really don't need that)

I just don't think its a good idea to use this weight gainer post slin till it clears out but i do want that soak up of nutrients so idk.

My whole post isn't sarcastic, just the when i said "if one were to, and then mention myself" statement was sarcasm.
