insulin glargine recombinant

The doctor thinks it is too high and gave Recombinant Insulin Glargine Injection and my mother does 15 unit injection every night. But blood sugar is still like 7.3~8.3 mmol/L before meal and 9-10 mmol/L after meal. Is this often to see among diabetes type 2 patients? Can some one give me any advice about how to improve my mother's condition? Sincerely thanks.

I would continue to use insulin glargine, a recombinent insulin analogue (Lantus) without concern. This was the recommendation in the British Journal Lancet Vol 1, 374 issue 9649 p511-513 15 August 2009. The media has produced some fear based upon five studies that I have read, and used some statistical manipulation that would have failed me in "statistics one" in the eighth grade. The experimental protocols were pretty crummy.

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.

Hi Dawn, Pizza can be tough to estimate, more because the carb content can vary so much from slice to slice and pizza to pizza. But although I'm just a mom like you, and not a doctor, it sounds like it's not just pizza causing high blood sugar. You didn't say what sort of long-lasting insulin she's on-- is it Novalin? Or Lantus/glargine? If you haven't tried Lantus (aka glargine) yet, I would strongly recommend talking to your endo about it.

She complained of polidypsia, dry mouth, weight loss. 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?

I am curious as why you do not mention that Glargine(lantus) does NOT have a license for twice daily usage ,levemir has a licensce for OD and BD and has weight benefits for type 2 patients???? or are you heavily sponsored/involved with the manufactureres of glargine? I am interested.

"My GP states this is normal and will eventually pass." It appears you are experiencing well known severe sides effects of Lantus. Have you spoken with your endo about your discomfort and other options? Go here and read "before taking insulin Glargine (Lantus)" http***www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a600027.html See if this applies to you.

Another question from me:P, i have been reading around latley, and have found many differnt types of insulin,and insulin pumpsm etc. all with there pro's,and cons. If possible, could someone please explain to me the differnt types of insulin, and ways of managing diabeties, and the pros and cons of them.

Montefiori Medical Center (Bronx, New York) performed an in-depth study of 240 women receiveing Lantus (insulin glargine) during pregnancy. The results were published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine, April, 2009 (4) 208-10. They found the drug to be well-tolerated and advised continuing the use of Lantus during pregnancy. PubMed has no studies whatsoever that substantiate an adverse affect on pregnancy.

Have you asked your doctors about the insulin pump. It allows you to set a basal rate of insulin using fast acting insulins (Humalog) for very specific time periods. This will allow you to adjust dosages based on your very specific needs. I have had great success using it. Prior to using the pump I also had difficult time with overnight and morning blood glucose levels. My last A1C was 5.9 it really workds!!!

Lantus (insulin Glargine) is a very SLOW release insulin, a so-called "24-hour" insulin. Because it does not rapidly alter glucose levels it is safe to use when driving. It isn't adviseable to increase the dose of Metformin. Other insulins have the tendency to rapidly (comparatively) alter levels of conscious and situational awareness. It is often prescribed together with Metformin and Glipozide. I would also hazard a guess that weight control is an issue.

from my knowledge recombinant hiv arises from people with different hiv strains infecting each other giving rise to the recombinant form. So my question is can recombinant form of hiv be detected using the current approved 3rd and 4th gen tests. (i.e. rapid abbott determine or oraquick?) Thank You.

If there is no anti-HIV in the sample then sample moves to the test area “T” together with unbound (free) recombinant HIV antigens conjugated with colloidal gold particles. Immobilized recombinant HIV antigens can not bind to mobilized recombinant HIV antigens comjugated with colloidal gold particles, therefore no visible colored signal in test area “T” (no colored test line) can be obtained, indicating negative test result.

Somatomedin-1 (recombinant insulin-like growth factor-1): clinical pharmacology and potential treatment of endocrine and metabolic disorders.Laron Z. Endocrine and Diabetes Research Unit, Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel, Beilinson Campus, Petah Tikva, Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Israel. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) is a polypeptide of 70 amino acids. The circulatory form of IGF-1 is synthesised in the liver.

The prolonged duration of activity of insulin glargine is dependent on injection into subcutaneous tissue. Intravenous administration of the usual subcutaneous dose could result in severe hypoglycemia.

I read that there is great viral load assay variation (HIV RNA PCR assay) for detecting some complicated subtypes and circulating recombinant forms.If this is the situation ; is HIV DNA PCR TEST ( which I think is not available in my country ) a solution ? Kindly suggest.Thanks in advance.

Your note from the page about not being able to pay attention in school could be due to low blood sugar, hypoglycemia would occur whether animal or insulin insulin was used. As these are both insulin and designed for only one purpose to lower blood glucose.Human insulin doesn't have the allergic reactions that animal does.

com If you click on the Message board for Lantus glargine insulin, it will bring you to the message board on Lantus. I'm getting ready to take my kitty to the Vet for a dental, so won't have too much more time here. I'll try and get this other link directly to Lantus message board. I give Maggie Lantus every 12 hours, The links are hard for me to figure out how to post here, but here it is: http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewforum.php?

I use it bu cutting my finger and touch the ped , ı did several times. I read prescription and l saw it contains recombinant HIV antigens. Does it infect me? Do l need to start PEP? Please answer me l have 30 hours.

t make sense why an A1c would be that high if he rarely shows high blood sugars on his monitors. Is he testing regularly? Is he on Lantus/glargine? (That really helped stabilize my daughter.) Let us know, and good luck with this challenge.

I have type 2 diabetes, and take metformin, gabapentin, and simvastatin How often should i be testing my blood glucose? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/612878'>upper leg pain and lower back pain</a>.
