Insulin

1. If an open vial of insulin (at a coolish room temperature) is good for 30 days, how long is an open vial of insulin good for when stored in the refrigerator? (6 May 2008)
2. How does morphea affect insulin absorption? (20 Apr 2008)
3. Can increased insulin cause decreased potassium, resulting in decreased neuromuscular activity and decreased filtration in the kidneys? (31 Mar 2008)
4. Since my pancreas does produce some insulin, does the addition of injected insulin cause the down-regulation of insulin receptors and persisiting hyperglycemia? (29 Mar 2008)
5. The mom of a boy in my care wants me to administer 2 units of insulin to her son when he is treated for a low because he is sometimes high later. I'd prefer to give a smaller snack. What is your opinion? (12 Mar 2008)
6. My daughter was recently diagnosed. Should I give her a correction dose of NovoLog if she's high at 11 p.m., three hours after her snack? (25 Feb 2008)
7. What is the most suitable ratio of basal to mealtime insulin for my child? She is 1.3 meters (4 feet, 3 inches) tall and weighs 31.5 kg (91 pounds). (5 Feb 2008)
8. My son gets NovoLog 70/30 twice a day. Sometimes, I give regular NovoLog at dinner if I am unsure he is going to eat enough. How does this affect his nighttime blood sugars? (29 Jan 2008)
9. My newly diagnosed daughter has started to act very hyperactive, like her sister who was diagnosed several years ago. Can insulin have an effect on the way children act? (27 Jan 2008)
10. How can we prevent post breakfast highs? Why is my daughter so insulin resistant? How can we get her to test less frequently? She tests almost every hour. (23 Jan 2008)
11. After a month, the school nurse send home the cartridge from my granddaughter's insulin pen. Is it okay to use the cartridge at home? It stays refrigerated at school. (13 Jan 2008)
12. Since my young son's insulin needs have fluctuated wildly recently, is it possible he was misdiagnosed? Could he have another form of diabetes? What should we do? (10 Jan 2008)
13. If I stop taking insulin, follow a strict diet and exercise, can I take Januvia as a replacement treatment for type 1? Is there any other drug to replace insulin injections? (2 Jan 2008)
14. Is is possible that even a low dose of steroids can lead to increased insulin needs? (23 Dec 2007)

17. Does an average carbohydrate load have an effect on one's basal dose? (26 Nov 2007)
18. At diagnosis, my daughter was put on Mixtard. A second doctor put her on Actrapid and Insulatard. With fluctuating blood sugars, what insulin(s) do you recommend? (9 Nov 2007)
19. With the last two vials of insulin I've used, my son has had high afternoon blood sugars for a few weeks, then stable numbers. Why is this? Is it just coincidence? (26 Oct 2007)
