Avatar m tn How frequent I can take insulin Humulin 70/30. I am taking 25 unit before each meal some just before meal or sometime after meal. Please advice how much I can take in a day ? How much min duration between 2 intakes ?
2094297 tn?1345389093 Cannot seem to control blood sugars, recently finished hep c tx succesfully, although still have cirrohsis but I am doing massive amounts of insulin novilin 70/30 injections (about 135 units daily) and feel real crappy as I seem to rollercoaster all over the place, any help out there. p.s. tried lantus and it worked for awhile, then did the rapid at all meals, tried both at same time, and just swithced to the 70/30 about a week or so ago.
Avatar n tn I use (1) cartridge a day or less at 18mg nicotine, 30%VG, 70%PG will this show up on a blood test? Vapor Pipes have stopped me from smoking cigs, but now I like the flavors of that vaping gives you and insurance companies want to test you. Will the nicotine show in my blood test? I have a blood test coming up in (2) days should I be concerned? I drink a lot of tea and water.
Avatar f tn mixtures of short-acting and intermediate-acting insulins in different proportions, such as 30/70, 50/50. Examples are NovoMix 30, Humulin M3, Insuman comb and Humalog Mix25.
Avatar f tn Why are you running out !?!??!?! If it is just running out refill the prescription early 2 days. If you have Humilin R on hand I question how old it is. If more than 30 days it is probably expired anyway. I also question having this Insulin as it has been largely discontinued for use as better insulins are now available. But the short answer is Novolog and Humlin R do not act in the same manner so substiuting can be very tricky and is probably not recommended.
Avatar m tn THIS HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST STARTED USING NOVOLOG MIX 70/30 FLEXPEN [APRIL 2009] NORDISK SUGGESTED THAT EITHER THE SAMPLE PEN(S) WERE BAD OR THEY WERE NOT STORED PROPERLY [REFRIGERATED} AT THE DOCS OFFICE !! STOPPED USING SAMPLES UNTIL MY ORDER CAME IN .. PROBLEM STILL OCCURS!!
Avatar n tn Some people find that one works more effectively than the other, so which is used is really up to the patient. Humulin, more commonly called Humulin NPH, and even more commonly called just NPH, is a long acting insulin. It is absorbed more slowly, and it's effects last longer, about 12 hours. Usually NPH is used in combination with one of the fast acting insulins. An alternative long acting insulin would be Lantus.
1002983 tn?1349822086 I opened a new cartridge on August 12, but only used one dose, as I had over-responded, growing too many follies. There is still about 325iu in the cartridge. It's in the fridge, and my RE told me the other day I could use it for my next cycle. It will be by then about 40 days since it was opened. Two of the nurses told me I shouldn't use it, and I was just wondering, if anyone has any ideas here?
231441 tn?1333892766 Yes, preexisting I guess, but it never showed up before - probably was well managed by my diet and exercise). I was on insulin (humulin 70/30) by 10 weeks - started on six units in morning and 4 in the evening and went up to 10 in the evening and 4 in the morning in the first few weeks of adjusting. Anyway, I was able to keep levels stable and within target (<95 fasting, <120 2 hrs post eating) up until about 2 weeks ago. Am now 31 weeks.
Avatar m tn I live in Kenya and cannot find any supply of NovoLog there is only Humulin R. I need help to know if this is accceptable please!!!
Avatar m tn The last time I used Follistim I got pregnant before the cartridge was done, but I intended to keep it in the pen until the cartridge was empty. The first time I used Follistim I used it for 7 days and then coasted the rest of the cycle b/c I had too many similar sized follicles and my RE wanted to the small ones to stop growing. My RE won't do an IUI if there are too many mature follicles - prefers 3, max 4. I think the duration of treatment depends on how well you respond.
Avatar n tn After giving birth, the gestational diabetes took a respite for 6 months and then my sugars shot up and I lost 30 pounds hoping to avoid insulin but I ended up on insulin anyway. I kept off those 30 pounds and was at an average weight until I started Lantus and now I gained back all that weight. While doctors will tell you it's not the insulin as they don't want you to stop taking it, I do believe some insulins (like any medication) have side effects.
Avatar m tn I have had diabetes for 30 years.I had much better control when I was using humuln n and humulin r . I am now taking lantus and novolog .I have had to increase my dosages and am still having a hard time getting control of my blood sugars. My aic is 7.8 this quarter vs 8. last quarter. should I go back to using the older drugs that gave me better control?
Avatar m tn Zoe - I think Windchimes meant humulin insulin not huminsulin. Humulin is considered an intermediate acting insulin as its duration is 24 hours, but this can vary per individual. LANTUS, on the other hand, is considered long lasting as its duration is up to 36 hours. Windchimes - You kept your Humulin dose a secret so one can only assume you're at max and why your doctor is considering moving to the pump. This link will give an inside on pumps http://tinyurl.com/lvs7o6 .
374593 tn?1257879950 but i realized this cycle they called in only a 300iu cartridge of the follistim for me.. last cycle (three months ago which we got preg from) i had a 600iu cartridge, since i was taking a slightly higher dosage..anyhow.. if i take the same dosage i took last time, i'll be out of my new cartridge early.. does anyone know how long the already opened one should last? i've had it in the fridge for a little over three months, would it still be good>? THANKS SO MUCH!
Avatar f tn I got my eyebrows tattooed at a beauty salon that has a certificate (per 3 years) from the ministry of health in my country. Although she used a new needle and new ink, I'm concerned whether she followed sterilization for the rest of the materials that may or may not be disposable. She used the top part of the tattoo pen's cartridge to spread the numbing cream through my eyebrows before using the needle.
Avatar f tn You're a good friend to be concerned about your friends well being. If "N" is Humulin N, there is no "standard" Humulin N dose that will work for all people or even for the same person in all situations. This applies to other insulin types too. If your friends at home test results show low glucose levels "several times per week" it is time to have his/her insulin dosages re-evaluated by their physician.
Avatar f tn The needle was new but the cartridge had been used. I am freaking out because he has Hep C. What are my chances of contracting this virus? Help!!
Avatar f tn Can I use my opened Follistim from late Aug (past the 28 recommended days)? 2. I have been offered a 600iu cartridge from someone at the same clinic, that has had 75iu used. Are either of these options safe?
Avatar n tn I have been using Humulin R and just started using humulog in combination with this to try and put weight back on , lost about 25lbs . I seem to be having trouble with the humulog . 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 .
Avatar f tn I have been having braxton hicks contractions since 32 weeks, they range from 30 mins apart when I am reasting to 2-3 mins apart when I am more active. It has landed me in the hospital twice, where they were stopped, but since I hit 37 weeks it has been a "just deal with it" situation since I am still thick and only 1 1/2 cm dilated.
