I'm on the Humulin R u 500 what is the difference in Humulin R and the r u 500
There is two types of Humulin. R and N. Both will have "U" after them.
The U simply indicates the "concentration" as in U-100, U-200, U-500 etc Where U-500 is 5 times as concentrated as U-100.

I’m wondering what type of testing supplies y’all are using. I’ve used all kinds, but after 6 years of working at my local Walmart pharmacy (I’m not working right now, but was working for Ruger, the gun manufacturer, before the cancer), I learned about Relion brand supplies.
At first I started using Relion Prime, which worked just as well for me as did the more expensive brands (your doctor will give you a meter for free, but the test strips are outrageous). After comparing them side by side… read more
I have had Type 2 for several years. I am taking a blood glucose reading twice a day. With my diabetes nurse we are trying to adjust my dosage of Humulin and Victoza. Is there a universally accepted target range for readings. This is what I compiled from various sites. Are these reasonable?

HussionK google JJ Smith green smoothie cleanse and it will give you all the needed info. Or, Target or a Walmart sells the paper back books. It was well worth it for us.
I am having an issue due to Ozempic causing severe nausea and vomiting to the point that I became severely dehydrated. I won't be taking any more Ozempic but until it's all out of my system, I am still very nauseous. Is it okay to skip my metformin dose until I feel better?
I just found out that my A1C is on an upward climb no matter what I seem to do regarding meals. Also I was told there are a small amount of proteins in my urine. I currently take metformin and also take Gliclazide at lunch and dinner. I use Lantus insulin at bedtime. Any advice??
will probably be going on insulin in near future.
Do I take metformin before, during or after my breakfast?
Two months ago, my doctor determined that I am a Type 1 diabetic. I was on long acting insulin at night and since that appointment had fast acting insulin added to my day. I met with my Diabetes Educator yesterday to get information about insulin pumps and I'm still torn on what to do. We talked about the Tandem pump and the OmniPod. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or advice on either one or pumps in general. I just don't know what to do! I also have no idea what the coat is… read more
Thank you! Been super busy, long hours, but I enjoy it. Still in training but will probably be by myself Thursday. I'm imaging checks after the tellers process them right now. 🙂
