Insulin

No imprint,no numbers, suspect told us that it is oral insulin, ornage and white capsule about the size of a tylenol 500mg capsule maybe larger ## Sorry, any prescription drug sold in the US legally, or manufactured here, has to have unique markings for ID purposes, as per the law set in place by the FDA. If there are not markings, it either has to be counterfeit, or an over the counter item or supplement.

Ultralente insulin was a long-acting form of insulin. It has an onset of 4 to 6 hours, a peak of 14 to 24 hours, and a duration of 28 to 36 hours.[1] Ultralente insulin, along with lente insulin, were discontinued in the US by manufacturers in the mid-2000s.

My friends daughter is 18 years old. She had a cyst in right ovary. She was done cystecomy. She had serum insulin of 90 mg which just 5 mg above the limit. Doctor prescribed with glucomet 250 mg. Doctor said to avoid future diabeter and to reduce weight this is prescribed. This is not a continuos life time medicine. Once the weight is reduced this can be stopped.

Can this be controlled in diet. ## Glycomet 250 mg and not glucomet.

Sir, i've been a patient of diabetes for 3 years and use insulin three times during the day. Now i want to stop the insulin and control sugar levels through other means. Please advise. I am 27 years old. ## It is much safer, according to NIH reports, to start the other means first, such as diet and exercise, then drop the medication later, if your doctor approves. The typical side effects of insulin are listed as possibly including administration site reaction, headache, diarrhea, and hypoglycemia. Dietary changes to lower your sugar intake as much as possible is usually the first step. What types of foods do you eat? How much do you eat?

Imean rapid insulin n long effect one, Apidra, aspart,n the grey colour pen insulins? ## Well, you've already specified the differences. There are some that work fast to bring your blood sugar down, which means they also don't work that long in the body, so they usually require more frequent dosing or must be followed by one of the other ones. The long acting are exactly that, they last longer in the body to help control your blood sugar for a longer period of time. The problem with them, however, is that they can take a bit to start working, so someone's sugar may rise for awhile, before it starts to bring them down. That's why they're often combined with a short acting. Learn more Insulin details here. Are you diabetic and using insulin?
