But for the most part I'm in doors, so this isn't an issue.Īs for the air, I've noticed in the last year it's got better. I know after 6 days novolog either looses it's kick or will become a little more potent depending on the environmental conditions it was kept in like hot summers. I know this is not recommended, but it's been working for two years now and I just don't push the insulin past 6 days if I have some left over. So I still change my infusion every three to four days (more like 3.5 days if I'm lazy) but for me 300 units will usually last 6 days so I don't change the insulin every three days. I've learned that novolog is good for 6 days once pulled from the vial. So talking about the worse time for changing the infusion, yes it always seems to be a bad time when it want you to change. This is what works for me, and may not work for you. For others reading this it may not be advisable depending on your situation to follow some of my lessons learned.
NOTE: Well a few things I have learned over the years. No more having the pump and another box in a pocket I guess. But now I'm looking to get the G5 since it will work with my phone and watch. It wasn't load enough to wake me when I needed awakening from a low, and I hated having the pump and dexcom. Well I've been focused on other channels but the videos still live on. I think thenlast we talked was April of 2014. C-U-R-E remains a four-letter word, not discussed in “polite” circles, and P-R-O-G-R-E-S-S is a very subjective matter. His view about diabetes in its present state is akin to slavery. and for market control and corporate profits these natural animal insulins were removed from the market. His semi-annual visit to his doctor showed a1C’s that ranged from 5.9-6.4. At the time, he could purchase both insulins over-the-counter, for less than $20/vial-no prescription required. When he ate, the Regular insulin provided bolus coverage. With this regimen, he had the freedom to work/play when and how he wanted or needed to. Hypo events occurred rarely-perhaps once a month. He was untethered home glucose monitors were just being introduced to the masses. When he consumed a meal, he would calculate and inject an appropriate number of units of Pork Regular (bolus). At 12 hour intervals, he would inject ~ 10 units of Beef Ultralente (acknowledged at the time as the gold-standard of basal insulins) to provide 24-36 hours of basal coverage. May I tell you a brief story about my husband? Thirty years ago (he had been a T1 for about 30 years at the time), he-with the help of diabetic specialists at the University of Alabama (Birmingham)-was placed on a combination of Beef Ultralente and Pork Regular natural animal insulins. What is so sad (for an outsider like me) is that all this latest-greatest medicine/technology is heralded as innovation.
