Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I take two shots of lantus a day (I found that it only lasted about 18 hours with me, so I split it) and 3 shots of Humalog (one before each meal). How much lantus do you take all together? Have you ever taken anything other than the humalog? I have also been put on Lisinopril. What does this medicine do for you?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Kim, I take a total of 18 units, 9 at 6AM and 9 at 6PM. I generally use about 20 units of Humalog total each day depending on what I am eating (I am a hardcore carb counter). Most days I eat a total of around 13 carb units for those 20 insulin units (about 1 unit for each 10g of carb). I was on Novalog briefly, but my health care plan stopped covering it so I switched to Humalog. I wasn’t on Novalog long enough to notice a difference, but the nice thing about Novalog pens is that you can dial in ½ unit increments while the Humalog pens are in 1 unit increments. The lisinopril is for your kidneys (that is what my endocrinologist said) to keep the small blood vessels from being damaged, it’s a blood thinner of sorts. Let me know if you have any other questions…….

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hi, My name is and I have been tentatively diagnosed with IPF or NSIP (with a " touch " of IPF), depending on where the dart lands. Still trying to figure things out, actually, do we ever figure things out? So, I have a couple questions. Not sure of the correct procedure. So here goes; I have recently begun to experience skin splitting on my fingertips and was wondering if this is another side effect of IPF. Does anyone have loss of strength in their arms, hands more specifically? Do your joints hurt? Do you cough so much that you gag and start to throw up? Do you frequently sound like a squeak toy? (That's what my oldest daughter jokingly calls me, to get me to smile) Thank You, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
