If I have a 300+ BG reading and it is time for a AM or PM dose.I should take the Dose (7R and 13NPH) as scheduled or because of the high glucose should I add to the regular dose an additional amount…Continue

I have a vial of Humalog Insulin that expired in 2006. Question is ... has anyone here used out of date insulin and what are the risks?I am guessing it would probably work ok, and at $145 per vial.I…Continue

Tim replied to A Thorn in my Flesh's discussion 'Is it safe to mix Humalog and Humulin R?'"I read the OP's desire, and I thought he wanted a "distorted smudging of the action". i.e. a result that was not as slow as R (little action inside an hour, but a peak way out at 3 or 4 hours) but also not as fast as Humalog (peak…"
A Thorn in my Flesh replied to A Thorn in my Flesh's discussion 'Is it safe to mix Humalog and Humulin R?'"Thanks Brian (bsc), your answer is what I figured, so it is onward with multiple injections for this action. Thanks for your response."
Brian (bsc) replied to A Thorn in my Flesh's discussion 'Is it safe to mix Humalog and Humulin R?'"Sadly, mixing Humalog and Humulin won't work. First, these are totally separate preparations, so even if they could be mixed, the end result would not be the combined action, rather it would be a distorted smudging of the action.
But the real…"
Cinderfella replied to A Thorn in my Flesh's discussion 'Is it safe to mix Humalog and Humulin R?'"The person to ask would be your local pharmacist. I'd be curious to know the answer too."

S Woodward replied to A Thorn in my Flesh's discussion 'What to do when (BG is high) and it is time for a Dose?'"In my experience, the R/NPH regimen poses way to many challenge to effectively manage type 1D. NPH is one of the most un predictable insulin in use. It cannot provide the necessary basal insulin during the 24 hour day; therefore, your I:C ration…"
Super_sally replied to A Thorn in my Flesh's discussion 'What to do when (BG is high) and it is time for a Dose?'"For Humalog, I buy the insulin cartriges for pens, but then use a needle to withdraw the dose. else i use the prefilled pens due to small dose. As long as keptat relatively stable temperature, I find these last well beyond 30 days. I live in Manila…"
still_young_at_heart replied to A Thorn in my Flesh's discussion 'What to do when (BG is high) and it is time for a Dose?'"If you are going to use humalog slowly it makes sense to get the humalog pens. For a while they were giving them away for free with coupons in ADA Forecast and other places. Even if you can't get the samples, a box of pens will be better…"

You still have to match insulin to carbs if you take a set dose and want decent numbers. Having an insulin to carb ratio enables you to know whether you can eat half that apple along with the bean burrito or whether you should wait for a…"
Clare replied to A Thorn in my Flesh's discussion 'What to do when (BG is high) and it is time for a Dose?'"Only problem with getting a vial of humalog is once it is opened, it is recommended to use within 28 days. If you are just using it for corrections then I am afraid it will "expire" and not be as active if you try to use it too carefully.…"
