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.

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.

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.

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.

Basically title. I’m a clinical pharmacist at a hospital. We are trying to start a patient on standard sliding scale insulin lispro, but one of their allergies is listed as cat dander and the lispro is flagging as allergy cross reactivity. I cannot find ANYTHING online to support this. Does anyone

Know little to nothing about it, but one MD says he’s done it before. What exactly is the point? Package insert for lispro says when given intravenously, the clearance rate is similar to insulin regular.

Curious how other institutions handle insulin on the floor. Currently we let RN’s draw up regular and lispro using pt specific 3mL vials pulled from Omni cell, we draw up glargine in our IV room, and all the other flavors we dispense a pt specific vial from central and RN draws up on the floor. Wel

I've heard from multiple patients who switched from Humalog to Admelog that now their sugars are all over the place. people who have been on the therapy long term and have well controlled numbers that report once they switched to admelog they had to increase their dose. 2 of these patients switched
