Examples are insulin zinc suspension, protamine zinc insulin, and the insulin analogues insulin glargine and insulin detemir. The latter two insulins are now the most widely used long-acting insulins.
* Biphasic insulins: 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.

and did find some info on skin changes ..
"Less common or rare
Depression of the skin at place of injection; thickening of the skin at place of injection; ..." This doesn't mention cellulite directly, but it sounds similar.
The site also has a clear caution to discuss these or any other changes with your doc.
Insulinotherapy was initiated with glargine, ten units at bedtime (glycemic value before aministration was 169) after reiceiving 6 units of aspart imediately (7 pm). Next day a fasting value of 140 mg/dl. Bedtime value (2 hours postprandial ) 269. After 10 U glargine, fasting value 120 mg/dl. Glycemic variation are very important and depend on the thyroid status.
What is your opnion? Is this a temporary glycemic instability, type 2 or type 1 diabetes?
Did they happen to give protamine sulfate to reverse the heparin afterwards? If so, are you diabetic?
Or how about the local anesthetic? Did they use procaine?
Or how about the contrast dye used for imaging?
Latex allergy?
And next time, you can ask them to give corticosteroids beforehand, instead of the antihistamine, to try and lessen the reaction.
10 units (1/30cc=1 unit) of Novolin ge NPH (isophane insulin) mixed with 1.5 units of Novorapid (aspart insulin; Novolog in the US), abbreviated as N10 & RP1.5 respectively
(2) dinner: RP2
(3) evening snack: N3.5)
Even now, we're still just adjusting to the eating and injection schedule, and you will too. It takes time, and we'll never really "get used to it", but it's all we can do for our kids. Our son's last HbA1c check was 7.
It is a little scary meetin a new doctor for the first time. Is your pain under good control now? If it is, he may not change much, if anything. Since you didn't mention what your diagnoses are or the meds and treatments you do, I'm sort of generalizing. All doctors and practices vary. Some insist on treatments in addition to your meds, others see their patients every month while still others see them every three months. I always try to feel out their personalityatm first meetin.
He has been covered for ALL his supplies, including insulin, through Medicaid, up until he is now at the age of 21-1/2 years old. He works for a minimum wage job and rents with his sibling.
My question is, where does one go to get help getting their insulin for low cost? There is no way he can afford over $500 a month for his insulin and pump supplies.
The currently accepted treatment of choice is a basal (long-acting) insulin like Lantus once or twice a day and a bolus or rapid acting insulin before meals. A fixed dose of bolus like you describe is not as good as developing a carb ratio. You need to take the correct insulin dose each meal to cover what you eat (unless you want to eat the same thing every meal!).
I am 30 years old and I have had diabetes sense I was 5 years old and have recently moved to a new state and can not get insurance until July 1. I will currently need more insulin and I was wondering if there is any help with me having to purchase this on my own considering it is very expensive I had my doctor that I had before moving wirght me a perscription but I was just wondering if there was any help out there that I won't have to wait 45 days or find a doctor here first ?
right now i can't afford my insulin i have not taken any in 2 days and won't be able to get any for another 2-3 days what can i do in the meantime
Inside the pen, where the insulin is contained I found a silver object. I did not inject myself, but would like to know who I could talk to about product liability and quality control. I still have the container even though the pharmacy company wants it back.
IR or insulin resistance is a sign of type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. I am assuming you are referring to either the A1C or fasting blood glucose levels. The first thing of course is a change in life style. This does not mean you have to stop eating everything but to be more judicious in your eating habits. In addition, regular exercise is paramount in reducing those :numbers". Talk this over with your physician and get started on these changes.
I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and along with that comes Insulin Resistance. Lately I have been really thirsty, my feet and fingers go numb, I have weird bruising and am always tired. My fasting glucose was 118. I crave sugar and after I eat sugar I usually get a migraine and my stomach feels like a huge balloon and I feel quite nauseous. I am 22 years old, weigh 197lbs, am 5'6", I get a good amount of exercise but it is really hard to lose weight with PCOS.
Hi, my 17 yo son has been a diabetic since age 12. He got an insulin pump 2 years and seemed pleased with it. However, last month I discovered he was not wearing his pump. He had gone back to giving himself shots of insulin. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, can you help me to understand why he would want to go back to taking shots? He has had a very difficult time adjusting to his diabetes. His BS runs high often that is when he tests. I am at my wits end!
The inhaler itself expands to form a chamber that fills up with the vaporized insulin when you puncture the blister. There is still one shot a day of long lasting insulin (my daughter was on lantus), but it sure beats the 6-7 shots a day of fast acting insulin that she was on prior to getting the insulin pump that she has now. It's not a cure, but it sure is an improvement!
