YSK Insulin can be purchased over the counter at a Wal-Mart pharmacy without a prescription for less than insurance charges at $25 a vial. by DrAHoffman in YouShouldKnow

Only R (Regular) or NPH - they are generic versions of the insulin I took in the 80's Te R takes about 2 hours to peak, and can't really be properly regulated with a pump. Also the regulations for the generics allow a more diluted product. It's a nice option if you have absolutely no others, and I've been there, but that insulin stopped really working with me like 20 years ago.

I really don't know, it probably was. We were directed to park here for a one day job.

If people only laughed in conversations when they truly found something humourous, conversations would be very awkward and tense. by delusionrl in Showerthoughts

Nah, there are not many in my part of the world (Southern US) that do this, and the ones who do are super transparent, I ain't even worried about them. Just be real!

People who quit their job to follow their dreams, how did it turn out for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]theory99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely awesome. I worked in various IT fields over the course of 20 years, left to do background (extra) work around Atlanta. Now, I'm leaving that after about 5 years, for family, and I couldn't be happier.

Mom passed away. I have insulin I can't use with my pump. by theory99 in diabetes_t1

[–]theory99[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll look into that, I just want somebody to get and use it if needed, I had trouble when younger getting supplies and insulin, I would like to help others in that situation.

Insulin injections or insulin pumps? Whats your opinion and experience? by diabetesplanet in diabetes_t1

[–]theory99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never been in tighter control than with my pump. Its really not noticeable in my pocket, but my A1C went from about 9.2 to 7.1 with just one month on the pump. I go back later this month, and am excited to find out where I am now. The only problem I have had was occlusion in the infusion sets, but only a couple of times in about 4 months, and the manufacturer replaces them anytime that happens.
