Guest guest Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thank you I know that they are I have talked with other graduates from there. Anita e-mail: abbrown6211@... facebook.: anitabb1@... skype: anita.brown27 Question About Taking Insulin >> >> >> >> Hi All, >> has been home one week and he has been taking some insulin >> whenever his blood sugar comes above 120, well, we go above 125 and he is >> being tested four times a day because they were concerned about the >> glucose content in the food he gets in the feeding tube and the fact he >> has pancreatitis. >> So they may be over cautious with him. It was a bugger getting the >> insurance to pay for the insulin and the pharmacy was wonderful enough to >> let him have a box the first night Georgie tried to pick it up. I think >> it > >> has 100 units in there and it is so tiny. >> Georgie has been injecting and we are using my Prodigy because the >> meter and test strips they supplied with 's prescription are not >> compatible with each other. He has the ten strips with his meter and they >> claim to be the same company yet are made differently than the separate >> strips. Lucky I had bought that supply of test strips and have just >> started the ones I got from CCS Medical. >> Well, I decided to get a couple testings right when I get up before my >> medication in the morning and give it to the doctor today. when he comes. >> I had 151, 170 and today a whopping 230. >> I think I know he is going to put me on insulin. I have been dreading it. >> Now, what do you guys recommend I get so I can give it to myself or can I >> do with what they provide. I see what a tiny amount 2 units must be and >> it > >> gives me the Willies along with just thinking of injecting myself. It >> even > >> gives me Willies to think of Georgie doing it to me.

It was just little things like move his leg an inch this or >> that way, straighten his head pillow, pick him upward in the ged, pull >> him > >> up toward the head of the bed, move his arm, recover his site where the >> feeding tube is, just dittling with this and that. >> I felt awful and am darned scared of what Dr. will say and do >> about my case. Also have to keep track of some matters about 's >> case. >> It was an awful setback to burst out crying in front of him when he is so >> weak and helpless. But I really did feel he was pulling my chain for >> security or I should say insecurity reasons. >> So maybe you can put my mind a little more at ease about insulin as you >> did about testing. >> Thanks. >> Lora >> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
