Q: how much does the humalog unrefrigerated pen cost in the united states?
I just learned that there is an unrefrigerated insulin pen, Humalog. I was wondering if anybody has used this and what is the price, in the United States, at Walmart, if possible.
A: 100
Q: Exactly what is a 3ml Pen for Humalog 75/25? How would I find out how many units is in each Pen?
I am looking for a way to find out how many uses is in 1 Humalog 75/25 Pen 3ml.
A: 100 units per every 1ml -millileter same as CC -cubic centimeter
so you have 300 units there of an insulin mix
Talk to your doctor about how many units per use and how many for correction of high blood sugar. Don’t worry, it should get easier with time…
Q: How many seconds PER UNIT of insulin do you count for a Humalog pen injection?
A: on average about 5 to 6 sec per 10 units at least that is what i have found to work the best. otherwise the best thing to do is just trial and error!
Q: Diabetes: Humalog Pen?
I use the humalog pen for when i eat and obiously when my sugar is a bit high. of late I’ve gotten some blood inside the pen. i called my pharmacy and they told me to discard the pen. i dont have money to be purchasing more pens just because i get some blood in it. i mean, sometimes they are brand new. it irritates me and makes me want to go back to using syringes. but i love the easyness of carrying the pen around with me.
what should i do? any personal experiance? should i really be throwing out the pens with a bit of my own blood away? it just seems like im throwing away my money.
=( ive been using the pen for about a year and a half and have gotten blood in at least 12 of them.
A: Can’t you just click in another unit or two and squirt the blood out? As long as you do it immediately and then change out your needle cap, I can’t imagine there would be a problem…especially since it’s your own blood…but if you are sensitive to infections this would probably not be a good plan.
Before I was on a pump I used to reuse my syringes lots of times…between a dozen and 20x, usually. I would occasionally get a tad of blood in there and that’s how I handled it, just pushed hard on the plunger until all the blood was out. And with the pump it happens occasionally too where the cannula (tubing) gets inserted and I see blood. I just give myself a dose and I watch the blood go back through the tubing and back into me! Never had a problem…
Q: Humalog Pen Pharmacy Script (By lilly)?
Hello, i left 3 insulin pens out for about 2 and a half days. I would like to know if its still any good. Thank you.
A: Yes it is still good unless there has been prolonged EXTREME temperature (like frozen or over 100 degrees for a long time). I have a friend who have taken insulin with them to Israel during the summer and not refrigerated it. He cleared this with his endocrinologist first. My advice is to call the Doctor and ask (don’t take my or another poster’s word for it–ask your health care provider). He/She will tell you and knows based upon the experience of other patients. The pharmacy is a good idea, but I don’t think people tell them as often as their doctor about their experience with the medication.
Q: Humalog 50/50 pen?
Can anyone tell me why you are suppose to refrigerate the Humalog 50/50 pen before use, but after the first use you are suppose to store it at room temperature? This doesn’t make any sense to me. I’ve always had to keep all of my other insulin’s refrigerated at all times.
A: The Humalog 50/50 pen is good for up to 30 days unrefrigerated. You should keep it refrigerated until you are ready to use the new pen to keep from going over that 30 day mark prior to your first use. Even multi-use vials of insulin can be kept unrefrigerated if you anticipate using the entire contents within 30 days. I hope this helps.
Q: Why has my humalog insulin stopped working?
I went on vacation and brought an additional Humalog pen with me. When I started using it about a week later it was working okay at first. But last night I had to throw the insulin out because it was working at all. The temp last week didn’t go above 80 deg and I kept the additional pen inside near dark. I thought the max temp was 85? I’m just not sure why it worked for the first couple of days this week, but then all of a sudden it was not affective?
By not working I mean my blood glucose would not come down (until I opened a new pen).
A: I use humalog insulin. When i buy the insulin, I always leave it out of refrigerator. I hate injecting cold insulin. I live here in the south and the temperature is in the 90s and heat has little effect on the insulin. Perhaps there was another reason like stress or infection or etc. You mentioned a vacation. Hhhhhmmm When I came back from my vacation, I had double the work and double the stress. Sometimes I have no idea why my blood sugar is so off but it happens
Q: I’m on low-dosage humalog. Why do I have to dispose of pen after 28 days – does the insulin go bad?
A: You dispose of it only if you opened it and kept it at room temperature. but if u used it and again refrigerated it, it will be good for a few weeks. if it’s still sealed it can be stored in refrigerator temperature for a few years.
Q: How exactly does Humalog work?
I have been on Humilin 70/30 but my uncle passed away recently and my aunt gave me his insulin pens which are Humalog. What’s the difference? I’m thinking it works right away, is this correct?
A: Do you use a Humulin or a Humilin?
Let me suppose you use humulin. Humulin 70/30 is made by eli-lilly, it is a mixed insulin with Humulin N 70%+Humulin R 30%.
The major different is an action.
Humalog is also made by eli-lilly but it is a rapid acting insulin. It has onset <02.5~0.5 hour, peak 0.5~2.5hour, effective duaraion 2~4hour.
R is a short acting insullin. It has onset <0.5~1h(hour), peak 2~3h, effective duration 3~6h.
N is a intermediate acting insulin. It has oneset 2~4h, peak 4~10h, effective duration 4~16h.
If you want to use humalog, you have to use it with humulin N or for an additional shot when you are hyperglycemia only.
If you need more help or if you want to change your prescription, ask your doctor.
Q: Does anyone know where I can get an attractive Insulin Pen carrying case.?
I use humalog and Lantus and they are both in the pen form. Does anyone know where I can get an attractive case to carry them around in? I would also be interested in a more attractive form of the pen itself. I found the Novo Junior one with the polka dots but I don’t know that it is appropriate for a 20 year old female. Any help would be appreciated.
A: I am a type 1 diabetic (i am 31 and a girl) and I use novolog and lantus. I have a Vera Bradley (verabradley.com) Jewelry case that i use for my insulin and meter. It is cloth and washable. i love it. I have used other things and this is the best. I like the jewelry case because it has little pockets in it and I have 1 zippered pocket for lancets, another for pen needles, and there is even a small pocket for an extra drum for my meter. Everthing fits great inside it.
Q: How much would it cost to have a pancreas transplant ?
My 22 years old and I have type 1 diabetes. I just want to know if having a pancreas transplant would be more cost benefit than spending a lifetime supply of insulin pens ( humalog & lantus), pen needles, test strips, Lancets, and pills for my high blood pussure and cholesterol
I spend like about $80 a month for all these stuff expect for the test strips & lancets i get those for free thank to my insureance
A: i have actually done a lot of research on this and you can have a pancreas transplant but it is not likely one would ever be available to you, all most all of the time when someone has a kidney transplant they do the pancreas as well so the pancreas’ would go to the kidney recipients first. if someone you knew donated theirs to you upon death it would be possible, but theyd have to be a match for you and thats not likely. hopefully someday there will be a cure, but the damn drug companies make so much money off of diabetics they will never let it happen
Q: Humalog Insulin Pens?
There is
1 box ( 5 pens x 300 units/pen)
using 10 units before each meal.
How would I solve this and how many days supply would this last?
A: multiply your pens(5) by units(300)=1500 and divide by 10=150 .This will give you the number of meals it will cover. Then divide by 7 (days). This will give you approximately the number of days. (21)
Q: Where can I get Insulin for free?
I am looking for Humalog.. either pen or bottles. Any help would be appreciated.
A: http://www.lillycares.com/
Also contact your local health department and see if they have a program that will help.
Also search for a free clinic in your area. You may have one close and not know about it.
Are you seeing a endocrinologist? Some will just give you some if you can’t afford to get it yourself.
Q: if you overdose on humalog, a fast acting insulin, can you reverse it. will i have brain damage?
please dont give me mean comments..i need to know about hypoglemic (low sugar) shock or coma and if 2 Lilly pens would cause that and if i will be salvageable – as in, complete brain function..
A: If you have made a mistake and taken too much go to your GP or hospital immediately and tell them what you ahve done.
If you get hypoglycaemia it does nto automatically mean brain damage but can led to it. depends on how fast youget help. If you are like this then you can’t help yourself anyway. too far gone.
Brain need sugar to function so if it is in the wrong type, or the cells can’t take it in then you have brain damage.
If you ahev troubels now go to a hospital fast. G
Q: humalog overdose?
how much humalog (fast acting insulin) does it take to hurt yourself… two pens with 100 in them each?
since it is fast acting, how long would it be before you would not be able to take any action – or be unconscious or worse?
i am not trying to hurt myself.. i am inquiring for a friend that i think it using the product incorrectly and may be suicidal.. sorry.. i need some real answers.
A: What your body needs to stay alive is different for every person-insulin levels I mean. While 1 person needs this much another may need much more or less, ya know?.?
Dieing from a low blood sugar would be terribly painful and distressing. The best thing you can do for your friend is talk to their parents if they are young and if they are grown then maybe call a crisis hotline (number in phone book) and get advice on how to help them in your own area. This is very serious, do not delay if you really think this person is serious.
