Good Numbers!

[ange_mom]

I am so excited. We just got some diluted humulog finally and today David was in target all day for maybe the first time since dx in March. Being able to measure out 1/10th of a unit makes a big difference! It is after midnight and he is a bit on the high side, but has to be to make in through the night.
Just wanted to share my joy!

Well, we were good this morning at wake up, But we are trying to switch back to mornings for lantus and only gave 1/2 last night and 1/2 this morning. Already had higher than I like reading- 15 at snack time. But, since I have the diluted insulin, I felt I could give him a little and his snack and not have him crash like would happen before! We shall see

[ange_mom]

I gave him a bit of insulin at snack and he was good at lunch and I just checked again and he is within range!!!!! I hope we have a few days without him getting sick or starting a growth spurt!

I'm always happy to hear someone has found something that works for their child! :D
Kudos to you! I hope the good numbers continue!!!:)

Since I've never dealt with diluted insulin, was it a 50/50 vial? Did the pharmacy diluted it for you? An extra charge? Just curious more than anything...

[ange_mom]

I had to get another pharmacy to dilute it and send it to me via the bus :) It is a 1/10 mixture so a unit is really 1/10 of a unit. I use the regular humulog for a 1/2 or whole unit and then just add a bit extra!
My blue cross covers it the same as any other and I just pay 10 dollars for the prescription.
This will be good until we can get a pump. My husband is hoping to get his this fall. Our insurance only covers 1500 of a 6500 dollar pump, so we will need to wait a while to get another one for David!

My husband and I diluted our own insulin for a couple of years. You can get the pharmacy to order empty vials from Lilly and most insulins have a diluent you can order as well. At the time, we were diluting Regular, Humalog, and NPH insulins.

We obtained the syringes that transferred the insulin and diluent from the endo.
