GLYBURIDE vs INSULIN GLARGINE

I'm sorry, I fell off the face of the planet. Or at least reddit. The last month and a half were a clusterfuck of feeling hot and miserable, a bunch of stupid stuff at work, and my family driving me a little crazy. If you are reading this and you haven't told anyone about your pregnancy, please plea

I graduated this week! I didn’t have GD with my first pregnancy and went into spontaneous labor at 40w2d. Baby #1 was a non-medicated vaginal delivery and I really wanted the same for baby #2. Was diagnosed with GD at 28w3d this time around. Diet controlled during the day, but went on glyburide over

I listened to all 12 lectures 10 months ago when I took the NCLEX and took important notes, it was very helpful looking back. Here you are:) - from a fellow RN that was once in your shoes Random NCLEX * For select all that apply, only select what you know. Don’t select any more than that. It’s ne

I had been having contractions on and off since 33 weeks, so we were all shocked when I made it to 39 weeks without a baby. However, I have an abundance of scar tissue due to surgeries for my cervical cancer, which were making it impossible for my cervix to dilate properly. As such, I was scheduled

Trigger warning: hypoglycemia, NICU, not positive I'm writing this post not because I want to remember all the details of our hospital stay, but that it might help someone else prepare for a potential NICU stay with realistic expectations, and know that you're not alone in all of this. This is my f

Charlotte was born on 7/15, a day after her grandma’s birthday. We were scheduled for an induction that day, due to arrive at the hospital at midnight. I had a rebellious placenta (AKA gestational diabetes), so an induction was something we had discussed weeks in advance, as a possibility. Given tha

I had my first stars event after 6 months of working at my store. I’ve been a licensed pharmacist for a little over a year. Basically the script was for glyburide and directions were supposed to say take by mouth twice daily with meals however it what was sent out as take mouth twice daily. Patient

First off, I'm on mobile so I apologize if this is annoying! Tl;dr: water broke at 31+4, admitted to L&D, now on hospital bedrest until further notice. Hella bored. I landed myself at L&D yesterday for the first time in my pregnancy. I'm currently 31+5 with a high risk mono-di twin girl pre

What embarrassing pharmacy confessions do you have? Thought it would be fun to share embarrassing things you did or didn’t know/realize, and didn’t want to tell others in your pharmacy. For the first year or so of working, I thought “Basaglar Kwikpen” was “basaglar Kiwi-pen”, and had no idea why it

How does everyone work with patients that just blatantly lie about being adherent to their meds? Example: I have a pt who is suppose to be on a large amount of insulin Glargine but hasn’t picked up his rx since November but SWEARS he’s taking it… my concern is safety since I am often titrating insul

I’ve seen insulin glargine 150 units bid Is there a point where insulin just does NOT work??

The FDA considers Semglee to be biosimilar to and interchangeable with Lantus. Looking at the structural formulas, I don't see any differences. The amino acid chains appear to be the same, the linking appears to be the same, and the inactive ingredients per 1mL appear to be the same. So what are th

Can anyone tell me what yfgn stands for?

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/19/sanofi-to-offer-insulin-for-35-to-americans-through-goodrx.html Interesting how competition, setting a price ceiling for Medicare part d patients, and bad publicity can get a company to bring costs down. Can't imagine sanofi doing this a few years ago when they were t
