I am currently using the Novopen 3.0 with Actrapid. My doctor has prescribed lispro for me but Novo Nordisk don’t produce this. Will Lispro cartridges work with my pen?

I am currently Glucotrol XL (twice daily) along with 100 units of Lantus every night, and three shots of Regular (25-30 units each dose). The problem is I am very sleepy during the day, I feel like I’ve been drugged, and I had to quit my job because of this about five weeks ago. I asked my doctor if I could take the Lantus in the morning, but he said it was better to take it at night.

We are planning to ask my daughter’s endocrinologist to switch her from Humalog with NPH to Lantus with NovoLog. We are hoping that this new regimen will give us more flexibility and keep her blood glucose levels more even. Do hemoglobin A1cs tend to improve when people switch from NPH to Lantus?

About two months ago, my son switched to a Lantus and Humalog regimen. During the first two weeks, he had very low blood sugar early in the mornings, so our doctor switched the Lantus injection to the morning. Why does the Lantus instruction booklet recommend giving the Lantus shot at bedtime?

I have recently heard that there have been problems associated with Humalog. According to the report, if you are on one kind and get switched over to the other, this can cause some serious side effects such as comas, etc. They also reported that one person died due to this. What information do you have?

I’m a woman who has been a type 1 diabetic for 35 years. I’m in very good control using Insulatard + Humalog. Due to the more user friendly devices from Novo Nordisk I wanted to change from Humalog to NovoRapid. My doctor would not let me change because he thinks the risk of forming antibodies is more prominent for NovoRapid than for Humalog. Are there any studies confirming his concern?

My teen son was diagnosed with type 1 six months ago. He is very active. Our endocrinologist said that decreasing his Lantus the evening before an activity is not recommended. Why is this?

My insurance company recently stopped paying for Humalog and gave me NovoLog. Since the switch, I have painful welts where I do my injections. Have you heard of this before?
