Aislin replied to jessica's discussion 'weird side effect from low bg'
"Over 26 years of dealing with Type 1, I have gotten so many different responses from going low! It especially depends on the type of insulin I am taking. With regular, I would get silly, almost like being tipsy. With Novolog, it made me paranoid and…"

Aislin replied to Cassy's discussion 'Humalog Prices! Insulin shouldnt be this expensive!'
"It's awfully sad that I can puchase Novolog for a lot cheaper per vial, without insurance, from an online source than what I pay, with insurance, in the US. With the economic uncertainty lately, I am always looking for alternate means to secure…"

Aislin replied to blondie55's discussion 'Hair loss'
"I noticed hair loss when my glucose was running high a few months back. Since dropping my A1C significantly, my hair has started growing at a quickened rate, and the density has gotten a lot better. I hope yours does the same!"
