i am about to face surgery next month for this exact same thing. i work on a computer. how long were you out of work. i have some time i can take off but not much
Kathy , thanks for explaining the procedure to Marad and his lady . Marad and his lady, I understand , are visiting Canada from the Middle East .. I want to wish them both well from British Columbia , Canada ; cannot help with their request of " h...
It seems like your wife will be having a vitrectomy in each eye. This is a very useful procedure, because they can get all of the blood out of the way and see where the retina needs to be lasered. In older times, they had to wait for the blood to ...
After 52 years with tyoe 1, I had the same procedure. First, to stop the bleeding, they injected something directly into my right eye. As bad as that sounds ,there was less pain that a tooth extraction. They deadened the eye with drops before the ...
The price of eating something sweet (even fruit) before taking a driving test can be big. The last time I reapplied for my driver's license, I had a peach before going. I got to the eye test portion, and failed...why because I couldn't detect whic...
Yes, I agree that everybody is different.
For me, if it's a serving that contains 15 gm or less of carbs, I can eat all berries, apples and oranges with no problem. I do not handle bananas and pineapple well. Juice I only use for hypos, and dried ...
After the first two years I never used alcohol swaps again after injecting.
We use the OmniPod so we DO use alcohol wipes to clean the area prior to attaching the pod. When we were using MDI, we used the same method. Occaisionally we will use the Alcohol Wipes with benzocaine (pennies more per wipe), and they do work, but...
I have never used alcohol, except maybe a nip before I go to bed! I usually injected through the clothes, but not with the old reuseable needles. Won't wiping the area, after the injection, cause insulin to leak out of the site?
It may not be necessary, but it can't hurt either. Sometimes there is a spot of blood or insulin and you can use the swab to wipe it away. She should probably use a fresh swab or turn it inside out. Mine are folded and you can turn them to use a f...
The more so when Lantus is from the fridge.
Robin,
Thanks for letting me know that Lantus can cause stinging. I had been wondering why I had expeirenced that on occasions.
Marad - I spoke to my pharmacist here in Montreal today. Humulin N is still available here in Canada. I explained to her your story - and she said that there would be no charge for the pen needle (probably the same will apply for you back in your ...

- Hi, Marad. I noticed that you're still using the default "welcome - upload your photo" hand image as your profile image. If you'd like to add some kind of picture to be your profile photo, look for the "Settings" link in the upper right portion of each page (next to the little silver gears). The very first option in Settings will walk you through changing your profile image. Good luck!
