My 9 year old son was changed to Humalog in October. Within 24 hours we noticed a complete change of personality. He became moody, violent to his siblings, abusive and completely unpleasant nearly all of the time. We stuck it out for a week and then changed him back to his normal insulin. His behaviour went back to normal very quickly. We then put him back on the humalog and left him on it.

I know this is different for everyone - but generally, what is the ratio for the # of mg/dml units dropped by 1 unit of insulin. Like Humalog U100 R. Does anyone know? Lilly (the mfg. of Humalog) said that they didn't have those numbers (I didn't believe that). Just curious. I asked a Diabetes Trainers from my hospital and she didn't have an idea either.

If I recall, this theory came out of Eli Lilly when it came out with Prozac, and it was reinforced by a book by a psychiatrist paid by Eli Lilly that became a best seller when that drug was the first SSRI to come out. They claimed, and the book claimed even more, that this was the end of mental illness, which of course was and is ridiculous and we now know that serotonin levels may have nothing to do with why a person starts to have mental problems.

Wow! I cannot believe the amount of mis-information on this site. First, I would like to address the general issue of Lantus, Humulog (Novolog) and other insulins that do require a prescription. The FDA requires that new pharmacological products developed by Eli Lilly & Novonordisk, etal be filled in US pharmacies with a prescription. In the early '90's a congressional law was passed to allow insulins on the market at that time to be available without prescriptions.

mentioned is definitely correct, but there was also another really troubling problem a few years back with Zyprexa. Eli Lilly, the pharmaceutical company that manufactures it, was discovered illegally marketing Zyprexa as a treatment for dementia in elderly patients. The risk of death was significantly increased in these populations, and the company knew the risks definitely did not outweigh the benefits, and the drug wasn't effective in these populations.

Actually, Allergy serum does likely contain Thimerosal. The pharmaceutical corporation Eli Lilly and Company gave Thiomersal the trade name Merthiolate, present in Desensitization injections (AKA. allergy shots).

Mostly, the chemical imbalance theory most people think of was spread by Eli Lilly and then other companies when they came up with ssris and then snris. Serotonin wasn't the problem then and it isn't now. Depression can happen to anyone, sometime triggered by an event and sometimes from out of nowhere. Some day we'll know why, but we don't now, and we still have the arguments about genetics, chemical imbalances, and traumatic events as the cause.

s digested more slowly that what the carb coverage with Humalog allows. I usually end up doing a correction bolus of a couple units of Humalog something like six hours after the meal to get my readings down to normal. Some people have problems with potatoes, others with white flour breads -- so you'll have to discover what carbs you're sensitive to and keep an eye out for higher than normal readings if you eat them.

However, there are other NMDA receptor modulates that are specifically targeted to the receptors that are in Phase II FDA study and will be available in standard pill format like all medications and will be able to take as primary (stand alone antipsychotics). Many companies are researching them but Eli Lilly has two promising ones. Here is a standard article on one of them: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/03/business/03drug.html?_r=1 Its not just the side effect profile.

His physical activity during the 2 hour periods after taking Humalog are about the same. The dosage criteria for Humalog are about the same (He takes one unit of Humalog for each 10 carbohydrate grams in the morning and one unit of Humalog for each 12 carbohydrate grams at dinner). The only other difference is that he takes NPH at the same time as Humalog in the am and does not take NPH at the dinner meal.

s a connection there, but again, the notion that serotonin causes mental illness is mostly an invention of Eli Lilly when they came out with Prozac many years ago. Since messing with serotonin doesn't cure any mental illness but only offers some symptomatic relief, that theory appears to have been a marketing lie. Now, remember, cholesterol isn't bad for you, only some kinds are bad for you.

Hi! I'm in a 20ui HUMALOG after meals regiment, however, in between meals and during the night my blood sugar levels drop below 70. Should I stop taking the HUMALOG?

I started controlling my blood sugar using Regular insulin About 3 years ago, my doctor moved me to humalog. Using humalog was not easy. I looked at the study that was done and it never reacted as expected when I used it. It was taking 2 hours to start working and in by the third hour my glucose level would drop 200 to 250. It was also hard for me to sense when my blood sugar is low. That was very frustrating. After six month of roller coaster, my doctor put me on Novolog.

Serotonin is not tied at all to depression. This was a lie spread by Eli Lilly when they first introduced Prozac. By now this is common knowledge.

I know our readings are different in canada , 5 to 7 is normal.I have had sugars as high as 32 and used 10 units of humalog , half an hour later I am 34 , I don't understand this ? What is the ratio of humalog to carbs ? I had the flu and I know it can really mess up your sugars , but this was a month ago .Also , I generally feel better when my sugars are around 13 , anything below that and I feel the efects of hyperglycemea , I know that does,t make sense , but it is how I feel.

Is it common for someone with type 2 diabetes to be on Humalog 3X daily and Lantus 1X daily?
