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.
Good day walking down the street and accidentally stepped on an insulin syringe, he was without a needle, old and covered with dust, and now I think if I could get HIV, because of the plastic syringe could scratch the foot through the sole of shoes.
I have been on levothyroxine for 3 months now, I feel wonderfull and am loosing weight. However my Dr recently put me on Metformin for PCOS and Insulin Resistance, I feel terrible! All I want to do is sleep. GI probelms not bothersome. My doc said to stop the Metformin and I feel normal again. How can I get my insulin down without feeling like crap? My pharmacist also said the 2 drugs interact with eachother. Please Help!

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.
what is the newest type of bladder suspension tx?
This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/225945'>What is the best bladder suspension surgery?</a>.
Is it possible that my frequent UTI problem is due to my recent bladder suspension and rectal repair surgery?
I had a bladder suspension 6 years ago and to my knowledge I had no problems up until now..
In the last 3 months I have had 2 severe bladder infections to the point where my blood pressure went super low.
this last one put me down for 3 days..sleeping body aches fever etc. I have never been a sickly person so I question if the suspension could be the problem.
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.
Mery christmas Doctors I want to get the professional advice my grandmother has diabetes and live in the very tiny town and require insulin shots she cannot take herself she needs someone to give it to her . There is a man in that town (not a doctor but as we call him in our country a “syringe operator”) he gives syringes and take blood samples and take money for that. Last week I was visiting her and saw the process.
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
