insulin

Hi,

My physician wants to put me on insulin but I told her I needed to find out

which method of administering the insulin would be more accessible for me since

I'm totally blind and don't want to depend on anyone to give me my shots.

I've read about several methods and I know it all depends on what type of

insulin she prescribes me and I know some insulins you have to mix together.

I figured the pen would be easier rather than the usual syringe method.

I really don't want the pump because I'd have to have someone sighted help me

set the thing up.

The national federation of the blind sells the count a dose I think but I

don't have the finances to purchase it and the utility only works with the DB

syringes.

Could you all share with me the method of injection you use and whether or not

you need assistance with your shots?

my mother in law also uses lantus, along with 5000 mg. of glucophage, and

humalog along the way.

Not everyone on this list and in the world is a text book case of being a

perfect version of a diabetic.

The Llantis is supposted to acat for 24 hours, so if you divide 24 into 80

you get abot about 3.3.3333 per hour. I did not hink yu can ,ix the 2

insulins, but can give them at the same place in different areas of the

body.s
