Insulin
Question from Texas, USA:
My 16-month-old child is on Humalog’s lowest dose of 0.5 units and experiencing lows at night. No one will give us diluent, so can we give her a smaller dose? What can I do to help my daughter if the doctors don’t think it’s a problem that she is going below 60 mg/dL at night?
Answer:
1. Send an Email to: Email [email protected].
2. Include Details: Specify the amount of diluent you need and provide the pharmacy or doctor’s office address where it should be sent.
3. Item Code: Mention the item code for the diluent, which is ND0800.
4. Pharmacy Information: Include the name, address, and phone number of your pharmacy.
Here’s a sample email template:

They will not send it directly to you. They will only send it to your doctor’s office or pharmacy. I just have them send it to my pharmacy, it’s easier that way.
