After switching to NovoLog, I had itching and hard pump sites. I have similar issues with Novo Nordisk insulins on MDI. I could not use Afrezza either. Both my new allergist and my endocrinologist are mystified. What are your thoughts?

After 14 years on Actrapid and Insulatard, I am switching to NovoRapid and Lantus, at the advice of my clinic. I have read that Lantus is unsafe and may be a risk for cancer. Is it safe to use?

I cannot get any Lansulin R, so I am switching to a Novolog FlexPen, which is an animal insulin. Is anything bad going to happen to me?

Sometimes I have immediate drops in glucose levels after my Lantus injection. My endocrinologist and family doctor are baffled. Should I switch to another long acting insulin or consider a pump?

I neglected to give my son his Lantus last night, gave him repeated doses of long acting insulin for high blood sugars. What do I do about the missing Lantus dose? What happens if he does not get any Lantus?

Where do you get the diluent for Novolog? Can you use the same for Humalog?

Just diagnosed, my adult son takes insulin for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but what should he do for evening/dinner insulin if he has a late breakfast and lunch, skips dinner?

If a Lantus injection were injected directly into a vein, could the Lantus start working immediately and cause a person to go low?

For the past few years, my teen son has had extreme muscle pain and tightness the day after exercise. Is this a side effect of Lantus or something else diabetes-related? What do you recommend?

After my insurance changed me from Apidra to Humalog, I began experiencing nighttime seizures. Have you heard of others who are extra sensitive to Humalog?

I use NovoRapid and Levemir. I have had lipohypertrophy that slowly disappeared, but I now have crater-like pits on both my abdomen and legs, where I inject insulin. How can I prevent more of these from appearing?

My teen daughter has been pumping Humalog for five years. She has developed lipoatrophy at injection sites in several areas. She does rotate sites. What do you advise?

My daughter has developed lipoatrophy on her upper right leg. What can we do to get rid of the depression? Would a longer pen needle help?

My son was put on Humulin 70/30. Can he take Lantus and short acting insulin?

We’ve gotten conflicting information about the duration of Humalog. One doctor said two hours; another said four. So, is a two hour post meal test really accurate?

Even though I keep increasing his Levemir dose, my son is still having high blood sugars around dinnertime. I don’t think he is rebounding. What do you recommend?

My daughter’s new doctor wants her to switch from Lantus to Levemir, but I thought these were the same insulin. Why would the doctor suggest this?

Recently, the NovoLog corrections I’ve given my son during the night have not lowered his blood sugar very much. Why is this happening? My sone is 12 and has had diabetes for eight years.

Is my daughter’s insulin regimen a cause for concern? Her breakfast ratio 1:1.6; lunch 1:2.3; and dinner 1:1.6. She takes 10 units of Lantus before dinner.

For about a month, my daughter has been having elevated morning blood sugars. We increased her Levemir by two units two days ago and have seen no major difference. How do we ensure she is closer to 100 mg/dl [5.6 mmol/L] in the morning?
