| Stella,
They have discontinued Ultralente. I was able to find a local druggist who had a fridge full and bought up quite a few vials, which since I use a small dose should last me a while. Then I'll have to deal with making the change.,
My endo prescribed humalog for me to try with meals, but I am having trouble making it work because I do get a late 2nd phase response that kicks in and sends me low at 3 hours at doses which don't do much of anything to improve the 1 and 2 hour readings. So I haven't been able to ramp up the dose which would control the first two hours because I'd end up in the 60s at 3!
This is not entirely bad news. It's nice to HAVE a second phase response again. I think I have gotten some kind of "beta cell rest" from the Ultralente, and the near normal numbers I've been maintaining with it.
I don't know what to think of the blood pressure reaction. When the UL runs out I'll have to work out how to use the Levemir. But for now I'm just glad I have a fridge full of the UL!  |
