Morning Members, I Need To Know Is There A Difference In The Strength Of Insulin Actraphane And Actrapid. ?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Johannesburg, ZA

I took the Actrapid and got very sick last week. I can't just go to the hospital if I have no appointment date. I went to the pharmacy to ask about it, and the lady were reluctant to help and said I should go back to the hospital. I still have Actraphane that I continue taking, but it will run out soon. Nor sure what to do 😏

A DiabetesTeam Member

Thank you all for the hugs, I feel loved.☺️
