The pills was what i was on first before i was pregnant i don't know why they don't want us to take the pills. I would talk to the main doctor too. You don't have another hospital to go to. I live in the city and I can think of 4 high risk so that's why I was able to switch. I hope and pray it works out because it can be stressful and I don't want that for you and your baby.
In the past I was put on Novolin NPH (28 units morn and 28 at bedtime) and I was taking 7 units of reg with each meal. Well, I recently changed drs and the new dr put me on Novolog pen 70/30-I am at 18 units ever 12 hours and it is not lowering blood sugar readings at all. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is the Novolog pen comparable with the NPH and Reg regamen? I was doing well with the Novolin and I am confused as to why I was swithched.
my dog was diagnosed this past tues as diabetic. the vet gave him 3 units of novolin N & said to feed him w/d, 1/2 can every 12 hrs & a shot of novolin N after eatting. the next morning we did & he vomited most of his food. vet said to bring him back and monitored his gluc levels & put him on iv for dehydration. when our vet closed at 4 we were told to take him to to the hospital to be monitored if we were able to.

You can contact the companies to see if they have a program where they help people in financial, or see if you have any income-based clinics in your area.
Hi, I'm a 36 yr old male, T1 diabetic since age 14. I'm currently taking Novolin N & R, 3 shots a day. I'm switching my insulin to Lantas and Novalog (4 shots per day). I have a couple questions that I didn't have time to ask the dr. yet.
1) Do I still make adjustments on the novalog according to my BS readings before eating? Ex: If it's high, do I take more than prescribed?
2) Do I make adjustments for a heavy day of exercise?
I switched from lantus to novolog and the doses are different, I then switched to the 70/30 novolin (relion brand from wal mart) as it was much cheaper and the dose once again changed, although I am type 2 and monitor my levels closely, all insulin brands work differently so be careful and consult Dr.
I did finally settle on the 70/30 mix, you can get the pens but it is much cheaper to just inject yourself, I get the needles that are the same size as the pens.....
00 at night...His readings are a bit higher than recommended in the morning...I don't know...we've been working on this for a while now...we havent seen much improvement...is it the Novolin that's the problem? The time we give the insulin maybee? We're all very new to this and I learn everyday...It's quite a change of life for my little one and our familly...
My dr wants me to change from a sliding scale to taking Novolin 3 units each meal. Consistency is so important. Then another week I am changing to Lantus once a day from taking Levimir 2x a day. Change is hard for me but I need to remember to stay with my carbs small amount and protein and fat.
I use a vial. Novolin says unopened vials shall be kept at temperatures below 30°C (86°F) for up to 28 days in the refrigerator, but should not be exposed to excessive heat or sunlight. Open vials may be refrigerated too. My pharmacist states that if I do not wish to refrigerate it my room temp of 50-70° is just fine for storage.
I live on a $900 SS income and when the Humalin ran out, I changed to Novolin $25 at Walmart. He has been on it for 4 days. Today I noticed he is drinking much more water and is urinating more. I did a check with the test strips and it read approx. 500 in glucose andbetween 40 to 80 in ketones. Now, I am so worried that I did wrong by changing his insulin. I did not check with the vet because I have so little money. His first illness cost me $1200.

I had to go on county insurance because I lost my job, and they wont cover Humalog or Novolog. The only fast acting insulin they cover is Novolin R. The problem is that I am on an insulin pump. I know this stuff is different than what I was taking (Humalog, or the equivelent Novolog), but I don't know what it is going to do to me. My doctor isn't knowledgable and I'm stuck with her. I can't go anywhere else.
Before I used Lantis I used to use NPH-which is a shorter long acting inuslin-more like 8 hours. Have you tried giving your Novolin before you eat? I figure out how many carbohydrates I will eat and then give my dose accordingly-before I eat my meal. For every 12 grams of carbohydrates I take one unit of Humalog. I then do not go from high to low and do not have to play a game of catch up.
My daughter was diagnosised with Type 1 Diabetes Aug 2008. We have learned how to inject insulin and check her blood sugar numbers. We keep her on a pretty strick diet to ensure that we keep her Blood Sugar Numbers between 80-180. The past two days she has been very low. We have tried to make sure that the insulin that we give her is only enough to cover the food that she has eaten.
However, just today, she woke up with her blood sugar #s at 64. She ate about 32 carbs for breakfast.
