INSULIN LISPRO vs LIRAGLUTIDE

I see articles recently shared talking about people not taking their insulin or reducing it due to costs. There is help, here are the programs I use the most, please share with your patients. [Admelog (similar to Humalog) $99/month for up to 10 vials or 5 packs of pens, any other sanofi insulins (l

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

Hey guys I’m P4 student and I question regarding expiry dates. I had situation during my hospital rotation I was preparing an admelog prescription and when assigning the expiration date I wrote down April 28. Since the vial only last 28 days at room temperature. My preceptor told me the expirati

After two consecutive blood tests showed and A1C of 4.5-4.6, my primary care physician had me drop my T2 meds. I achieved these results through diet and exercise, supported by my meds. First he had me drop Jardiance, and that went fine. Another 4.6 A1C. Then he had me drop Victoza/Liraglutide and Me

Slight cross post from a r/KaiserPermanente thread of mine. After 2 years and 4 denials to see an endocrinologist as an uncontrolled T2D, I finally got them to accept the referral after asking for a formal denial letter so I could go self-pay to an out of network hospital system a few counties away.

I was diagnosed with T2 back in November and it gave me a scare. I’m in the morbidly obese category and on liraglutide to help. I don’t think it’s working well for me but that’s a separate issue. I feel like I need another kick, I haven’t received a lot of support from my GP (in the UK) and I am try

Hi all I’ve been diagnosed type 2 this January and have since been on a mix of metformin, glimepiride, and sitagliptin none of which lowered my sugars very much. My nurse has suggested that I could go onto a daily or weekly injection (Liraglutide/Trulicity) to help stimulate the insulin levels. Does

When I was first diagnosed, I couldn’t afford my medications to keep everything maintained. My A1C is sitting somewhere around a 7/8. Two years later, I moved to 12u long acting and around 20-30u of fast acting. Doctor tried to put me on Ozempic, but I ended up in the ER from an allergic reaction.

For the past 5 months I have been working really hard on my diet and fitness level where i've pretty much got it in lock down. I've integrated healthy eating and going into the gym in a very sustainable way where it's a part of me now. It is kind of surreal to think now there were days on end I woul

It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Liraglutide injection also slows the emptying of the stomach and may decrease appetite and cause weight loss. It's been a couple of days and I'm having some trouble with nausea. I've found that

Hey everyone. Quick disclaimer that I do not have T2D (though was pre-T2D a few years ago). I understand that internet advice cannot substitute for medical professionals' words, but I was hoping if others in /r/diabetes have had success with dealing with a situation like my father's. He was diagnos
