Elaine replied to marty1492's discussion 'have you ever used diluted insulin?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"My endo won't support it. I'd love to try it. The pump is his advised solution for those who want less insulin, since small amounts can be delivered over,say, two hours. Meanwhile, the 1/2 unit marked syringes are helpful. Alternately,…"
Elaine replied to Don's discussion 'change in basal?' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Adjusting the long-acting only slightly, as I am very sensitive to insulin and over- or under-shooting quite likely with short acting insulin.

This Florida senior (well, yes, most everyone in FL is a senior) saw an old search result from you about Novalog. I guess some people really have to pay without insurance. At age 83, husband drove to hospital where they told us he had 900 BG. Later deteremined it was Type 1. Now I hope to find people who are actually paying for 10ML 100 unit Vials of Novalog. I have no idea if every one or only you see this note as don't understand these things. But I know how to answer email to JOAN701@AOL if anyone wants to write....
