Humulin R
I'm on the Humulin R u 500 what is the difference in Humulin R and the r u 500
There is two types of Humulin. R and N. Both will have "U" after them.
The U simply indicates the "concentration" as in U-100, U-200, U-500 etc Where U-500 is 5 times as concentrated as U-100.

Testing Supplies
I’m wondering what type of testing supplies y’all are using. I’ve used all kinds, but after 6 years of working at my local Walmart pharmacy (I’m not working right now, but was working for Ruger, the gun manufacturer, before the cancer), I learned about Relion brand supplies.
At first I started using Relion Prime, which worked just as well for me as did the more expensive brands (your doctor will give you a meter for free, but the test strips are outrageous). After comparing them side by side… read more
I used Relion before getting my Medicare, never had any problem, but my Medicare has sent me a free meter and strips ever 3 months. Thank you for passing the info on about the insulin, I'm glad… read more
Meal Time Insulin
Meal time insulin is coming for sure. I see my Dr. in September and my am and pm bs are very high. The increase of Toujeo to 80 units is not bringing it down. I really don't like all this testing I will be doing. I have never had to worry about low bs. How do these pumps work? Will they help me have less needle sticks? Do they administer insulin? I need to be educated and know you, my friends, will help. I feel good. Each day is different. Life is an adventure
God bless all of you. Thank you… read more

I'm Diabetes Over 37 Years,I Take Aprida And Optisulin In The Morning And Evening. So Far I Am Better Now
@A DiabetesTeam Member I am so happy you are doing better! Keep up the good work!
Why Is My A1C At 6.5 But My Blood Sugars Are Real High Sometimes?
Then that makes sense. If you have just started the Humulin it may take a bit of tweaking to finalize how many units you will need.
I'm Having Trouble Getting My Morning Readings Down. How Can I Help This?
We eat our biggest meal around 6 PM. I've been told to eat a snack around 10pm. What makes a good snack? What else can I do?
HussionK google JJ Smith green smoothie cleanse and it will give you all the needed info. Or, Target or a Walmart sells the paper back books. It was well worth it for us.
Can You Skip A Few Days Of Metformin If You Are Experiencing Nausea And Vomiting
I am having an issue due to Ozempic causing severe nausea and vomiting to the point that I became severely dehydrated. I won't be taking any more Ozempic but until it's all out of my system, I am still very nauseous. Is it okay to skip my metformin dose until I feel better?
If your pills are 500 mg each, then yes some diabetics do take up to 2000 mg per day.
I believe it is the maximum dose (although some doctors may prescribe up to 2500 mg I believe)
A1c 11.8 Farxica Gave Me Uti On Basalgar Now Told To Also Take Humilin 3x And Ozempic. Too Much?
Type 2 diabetes farcical gave me uti leading to sepsis in icu 1 week
Thanks for the advice. I remember testing urine that way when I worked. I am a huge plain water drinker so I will definitely put that into practice thanks for being so supportive
