Humulin R
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm on the Humulin R u 500 what is the difference in Humulin R and the r u 500

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.

Then that makes sense. If you have just started the Humulin it may take a bit of tweaking to finalize how many units you will need.

Testing Supplies
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

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.

What Are Some Options Other Than Gliclazide With My Metformin?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

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??

Can You Skip A Few Days Of Metformin If You Are Experiencing Nausea And Vomiting
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

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?

If your pills are 500 mg each, then yes some diabetics do take up to 2000 mg per day.

I believe it is the maximum dose (although some doctors may prescribe up to 2500 mg I believe)

My Readings In The Morning Are Very High
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am struggling with morning highs and seem to be needing to take much more insulin which I really dont want to do. I go to sleep at night with a certain reading, take insulin Apidra and Lantus and wake up in the morning with the high reading. I have also noticed that the reading does sometimes drop during the course of the night but is high again when I wake up. Also have put on weight. I dont know whether this is a result of wrong eating or whether medication can also stop being as… read more
