My advice, drink it and get it over with. Yes you will likely get sick, but if it is a one time deal it might be worth it. No I have never had this craving but mine was tomatoes. I could never get enough. I finally gave in drove my BG up to…"

typeIIjan replied to Jennitar's discussion 'Humalog Going Bad'"I've been battling this for the past couple of weeks. The entire box was bad. Finally, I called Eli Lilly's support line and they sent an order to Walgreens to give me a new box (without a co-pay). I opened another box I'd picked up a…"
Eb replied to Jennitar's discussion 'What is it with White Rice?'"White rice is worse than any other food for me. I must be very efficient at digesting it. I'd swear it also takes more insulin per gram of carbohydrate, e.g. a unique insulin to carb ratio. Almost like it was greater than 100% carbohydrate…"
